Mike Florio and Chris Simms think Mike Evans deserved his ejection and suspension after starting another altercation with Marshon Lattimore during the Buccaneers and Saints' battle in Week 2.

The Buccaneers have taken a hit on their defensive line.

Veteran defensive tackle Akiem Hicks tore the plantar fascia in his foot and is expected to miss a month, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The 33-year-old Hicks signed with the Bucs in June and has started both games so far this season.

Defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches will likely see more playing time while Hicks is out.
