Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is inactive for the team’s Week 1 game against the Tennessee Titans, the Buccaneers announced Sunday.

Evans was limited at practice Friday with a hamstring injury and listed as questionable.

Louis Murphy is expected to get the start in his place, opposite veteran Vincent Jackson. Russell Shepard and Adam Humphries will be in the mix for targets as well.

Evans caught 68 passes for 1,051 yards and 12 touchdowns last season as a rookie.
