Evans (collarbone) brought in six of 12 targets for 132 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

Taking the field for the first time since Week 7, Evans looked as good as head coach Todd Bowles had reported the star receiver had during this week's practices. Evans made his first catch for a gain of 12 yards on the Buccaneers' second drive, and he went on to add noteworthy gains of 12 and 33 yards later in the first half. On Tampa Bay's first possession after halftime, the perennial Pro Bowler would go on to add a 45-yard grab, which accounted for half of the yards on a drive that culminated in a Devin Culp six-yard touchdown catch. Evans' receptions, receiving yards and targets were all season highs, and he'll aim to carry over the momentum into a Week 16 divisional road clash against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Evans (collarbone) is listed as active Thursday against the Falcons.

Evans thus is in line for his first appearance since Week 7, when he initially suffered a broken collarbone. Since he returned to practice last Wednesday, he was listed as limited on all six of the Buccaneers' injury reports, and coach Todd Bowles revealed to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times this Wednesday that Evans has yet to take contact. On Thursday afternoon, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reported that Evans was expected to play in Week 15, but the veteran wide receiver also will be operating under a snap count. As a result, Evans seemingly will be working behind at least Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin in the pecking order at the position, while Jalen McMillan (neck), Tez Johnson, Sterling Shepard and Kameron Johnson also will be on hand for snaps and targets.

Evans (collarbone) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Falcons, though he's in line to play and is expected to be on a "pitch count" with his snaps, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Evans' availability won't be confirmed until Tampa Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but he looks poised to play for the first time since Week 7 after the Buccaneers activated him from injured reserve Wednesday. Though the 32-year-old wideout didn't take full contact at any point since having his 21-day practice window opened last Wednesday, the Buccaneers feel comfortable enough with how he's recovered from a broken clavicle to clear him for game action. As Fowler notes, Evans probably won't play his usual complement of snaps, but Tampa Bay plans to have him on the field for its most important downs. If Evans escapes Thursday's contest without incident, he should be ready to handle a fuller workload Week 16 at Carolina.

Brown (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Brown, who is tending to a personal matter, didn't practice Wednesday, was limited Thursday and then was listed as a non-participant Friday before being deemed out for Week 15. The wideout's next opportunity to return to the lineup will occur Sunday, Dec. 21 against the Titans. In Brown's absence this weekend, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy figure to lead the Chiefs' Week 15 WR corps, with JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton candidates to see added snaps versus Los Angeles.

Coach Andy Reid said Friday that he doesn't expect Brown (personal) to suit up Sunday against the Chargers, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Brown has been tending to a personal matter this week that didn't allow him to practice Wednesday before he returned in a limited practice one day later. Assuming Brown is unavailable for Week 15 action, the Chiefs will lean on Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton at wide receiver Sunday.

Brown gathered in one of two targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 20-10 defeat to the Texans.

His 35-yard grab kicked off Kansas City's lone touchdown drive of the day in what was a lackluster showing from the offense overall. Brown and company will need to be at their best in the coming weeks to secure a playoff spot, but the veteran wideout is still just an ancillary option in the passing attack, finishing with only a 34 percent offensive snap share in Week 14.

Dicker made all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

Dicker put the Chargers on the board with a 49-yard field goal late in the first quarter before adding two more field goals from 23 and 49 yards in the third quarter. Sunday marked the sixth time this season that Dicker has made at least three field goals in a game. He's been perfect since the Week 12 bye, and through 13 regular-season games he has gone 34-for-36 on field-goal attempts and 29-for-29 on point-after tries.

Dicker made all five field-goal attempts and converted his sole PAT in Monday night's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles.

Dicker's longest kick of the day was a 54-yard field goal in overtime that ended up being the game-winner. The kicker accounted for 16 of the Chargers' 22 points and extended his lead as the NFL's leader in career field goal percentage (with more than 100 attempts), sitting at a 93.8 percent conversion rate.

Jones underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn right Achilles that he suffered in Week 14 against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The Colts placed Jones (Achilles) on injured reserve Tuesday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.

Coach Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that Jones sustained a torn right Achilles during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars.

Kamara (knee/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina.
