The Tampa Bay Buccaneers returned to the practice fields on Wednesday afternoon as they look ahead to the home opener against the Packers. The Buccaneers learned that wide receiver Mike Evans will definitely miss the game as he lost the appeal of his one game suspension.
The Buccaneers were also without wide receiver Julio Jones and tackle Donovan Smith in Wednesday's practice. Jones is dealing with a knee injury, while Smith is trying to come back from an elbow injury.
