Jameis Winston leaves game with knee injury; Mike Evans in concussion protocol
The offensive hits continue to pile up for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as their two biggest stars left Thursday night's 43-28 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
Quarterback Jameis Winston exited in the fourth quarter with a knee injury, while leading wide receiver Mike Evans was evaluated for a concussion.
Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter said after the game Winston told him he was fine. Koetter also said Evans was in the concussion protocol.
Winston completed 23 of 37 passes for three touchdowns in the game. Evans, who is on track to lead the NFL in targets, had 11 catches for 150 yards and both of Tampa Bay's touchdowns.
Mike Glennon replaced Winston in the game and completed 10 of 11 passes for 75 yards and a touchdown.
Running back Antone Smith also had to be helped off the field in the fourth quarter.
The Buccaneers are currently without starting running back Doug Martin (hamstring), and backup Jacquizz Rodgers has been sidelined by a foot injury.
