On the same night that he made history, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans left in the second quarter against the Baltimore Ravens with a hamstring injury. He was ruled out shortly after.
The injury came in the end zone, where Evans tried to haul in his second touchdown pass of the game. As he fell to the ground, Evans immediately grabbed his hamstring. Soon after, the veteran wide receiver walked to the locker room with trainers.
In the first quarter, Evans caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from Baker Mayfield to give the Bucs an early 7-0 lead.
With the score, Evans became the 11th player in NFL history to record 100 career receiving touchdowns. He joins Hall of Famers Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison and Terrell Owens as the only players in NFL history to have at least 100 TD receptions in the first 11 seasons of a career.
The 31-year-old Evans has only missed nine games in his 11-year career, though last week he was dealing with what the Bucs described as a nagging hamstring issue and did not practice Thursday or Friday. He has 26 catches for 335 yards and a team-high six touchdown receptions this season.
The Bucs' second-leading TD receiver was also injured Monday night. Chris Godwin was carted off with a leg injury late in the fourth quarter of Tampa's 41-31 loss to Baltimore.
