Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been slapped with a one-game suspension by the NFL for his role in a mass brawl, meaning he will miss this Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.
Both benches cleared during the brawl, which started after Tom Brady and Leonard Fournette got into a heated verbal exchange with New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore following a play.
Evans, who was on the sideline when the incident first occurred, sprinted over and flattened Lattimore by pushing him over with both hands, leading to a full-blown fistfight breaking out. Both Evans and Fournette were ejected from the game for their role in the fracas.
