The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to be without their top draft selection Mike Evans for the next 2-3 weeks with a groin injury, per Ian Rapoport. He was coming off of his best game as a pro and the team was coming off of their first win of the season. It also happened to be the first start for Mike Glennon for the season. Maybe the team should have made more of a competition for the starting gig in the preseason.

Glennon was looking toward Evans on a pass that ended up getting intercepted. On the play, Evans pulled up lame and was taken off of the field because of the groin injury. The Steelers Cortez Allen got the gift interception because Evans had to pull up.
The Buccaneers will lose one of their weapons on the field for the next few weeks. The ball could be going into the hands of Vincent Jackson more with Evans on the sideline.
