Marshon Lattimore: If something comes with Mike Evans, it will come

The news that cornerback Marshon Lattimore will be with the Commanders on Sunday was likely of particular interest to Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans.

Evans and Lattimore met 12 times while Lattimore played for the Saints and Evans had 16 catches for 309 yards and three touchdowns in those games. His limited production would be a reason to keep an eye on their matchup for yourself, but the two players have also engaged in numerous skirmishes, matches and brawls over the years.

Evans served a pair of one-game suspensions for his altercation with Lattimore, who said Friday he wasn’t entering the game with the intention of setting off more fireworks.

“I’m going there yes try to help my team” Lattimore said, via Ben Standig of TheAthletic.com. “All other things, if they come, they will come. . . . I want to be physical. I want to be physical with anyone. An extra level because of the past — it’s not really about the mental game. You’ll know I’m here.”

The Chiefs have only had Lattimore in the lineup twice since trading for him during the season, so they’ll be hoping for a lockout defense without any extracurricular activities that could interfere with his availability.
