Ailing Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka received a green light to play Monday night at Detroit.

The participation of Egbuka was in greater doubt than the return of Evans, who last played four weeks ago in the Buccaneers' 29-27 triumph over the New York Jets on Sept. 21.

Head coach Todd Bowles was unable to mask his optimism around Evans' return after his first complete on-field workout this week.

Egbuka is leading the Bucs in catches (27), receiving yards (469) and receiving touchdowns (five). He was unable to finish last week's game and was limited during his only practice day this week on Saturday.
