Mike Evans and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are currently awaiting the decision of his pins and needles appeal suspension.
Evans, his agent and the NFLPA met with the NFL Tuesday afternoon to make their plea for the suspension to be lifted.
According to multiple reports, the league will make a decision on Evans’ suspension on Wednesday

Evans was banned for his actions in Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints. He rushed a bowled over Saints corner Marshon Lattimore, when Lattimore was talking rubbish with Tom Brady.
Players from both sides of the altercation were kicked out of the game, but Evans said after the game that he did not believe he should have been suspended.
Brady came in defense of his teammates, calling the decision to suspend his number 1 wide receiver “ridiculous.”

The Buccaneers will face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon, and if Evans is unable to play, the Bucs will miss much of their offense.
Tampa wideout Chris Godwin has been sidelined with a hamstring injury as he works his way back from ACL surgery and Julio Jones is hampered by a knee injury.
If Evans’ suspension holds, Green Bay’s underling could secretly do a happy dance as they face a much easier afternoon.
