Mike Evans could be on track to return Sunday for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The second-year wideout took part in Friday's practice -- essentially a walkthrough -- which is an indication he could be ready to go when the Bucs take on the Tennessee Titans.
Evans has been dealing with a hamstring injury that kept him out of practice earlier this week. The injury sidelined the 6-foot-5 receiver for the team's final two preseason tilts.
The wideout is listed as questionable, but coach Lovie Smith said Evans "looked good" during Friday's session.
Evans' availability will be one to track as we creep closer to Sunday's kickoff.
