Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been suspended following a fight during Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, reports say.

ESPN reporter Adam Schefter tweeted a statement from the NFL that announced Evans would be suspended without pay for one game due to unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct.

NFL Vice President of Football Operations John Runyan wrote a letter to Evans that stated, in part: "When you noticed your teammates engaged in a confrontation with Saints' players, you ran toward that area on the field and violently threw your body into and struck an unsuspecting opponent who was part of that confrontation...Your aggressive conduct could have caused serious injury to your opponent and clearly does not reflect the high standards of sportsmanship expected of a professional."

WESH 2 sister station WDSU had reported an investigation was launched into the brawl that resulted in wide receiver Mike Evans and cornerback Marshon Lattimore being ejected from the game.

This is not the first time Evans and Lattimore have been involved in on-field brawls. In 2017, Evans was suspended after tackling Lattimore on the sidelines.
