It's V-Weak on ESPN as we continue Jim Balvano's fight against cancer.

NFL Live is presented by Golden Corral.

You're looking at beautiful Tampa, Florida, the site of the beginning of week 15.

The Falcons and the Bucks clashing in just a few hours as we welcome you

into the show. Glad that you're with us. And Jeremy Fowler is in Tampa covering the game.

He joins us now. Jeremy, Mike Evans has not played since week seven due to a broken collarbone.

It was actually on Monday night football. What more can you tell us about his status for tonight,

as well as any other injuries we should be monitoring? Laura, I'll start with the latest. Mike Evans is expected to make his

return tonight. I've talked to multiple sources who feel good about that. He has anticipated it

all week. Teammate's said that he's been juiced throughout the practice week, knowing that he's

probably playing tonight. Now, the Bucks will likely have him on

somewhat of a pitch count. He will not be in on every down, but I was told he will definitely

be in on the important down, certainly third down. They like to manage his snaps anyways at this

age, so he should be somewhat close to what is a normal full go for him. Other Bucks injuries,

Jalen McMillan worked his way back from a serious neck issue back in the

preseason.

He's expected to play as well. Could be on a pitch count similar to Evans. He's more of a deep threat for them. Cade Auden, the tight end is doubtful with a knee. I'm told the bucks are actually holding a little bit of hope that he could potentially play. they're at least going to see how he feels pregame, but not likely.

And then defensive back, Tykees Smith, not likely as well. But the Evans move is the

kind of situation that can tilt the NFC South over the next month. And this is the healthiest that

the bucks are going to get after being beat up all year. But I taught the center, Graham Barton, Laura,

he made no excuses. He said these midseason lulls that we have are simply unacceptable. We all need to look in the mirror starting tonight. Yeah, Wurfs coming back too is a big deal. The injury bug has been an issue for the bucks when it comes to those midseason lulls. Thanks to Jeremy for the latest there. And let's talk big picture now for the Buccaneers who were tied for the NFC South lead with the Panthers. According to ESPN Analytics, a win tonight would give them an 80% chance to win the division, while a loss drops those chances to just over 50%. That's how important and impactful this game could be in just a few hours. The Bucks, by the way, have won the South four years in a row.

Let's you welcome you in here.
