Moves to IR
Published: 2024-08-19
Evans (leg) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
The move was a formality for Evans after it was already reported he would miss the 2024 campaign due to suffering a torn patellar tendon during a joint practice with the Bears on Thursday. The Michigan product was competing for a spot on Cincinnati's running back depth chart behind Zack Moss and Chase Brown before suffering the injury.

Out for season
Published: 2024-08-15
Evans is out for the season after suffering a torn patellar tendon during the Bengals' joint practice with the Bears on Thursday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
The running back was carted off the practice field and had his leg placed in an air cast. Evans was competing for a spot on Cincinnati's running back depth chart behind Zack Moss and Chase Brown. The Michigan product carried the ball twice for 12 yards in 2023.
Inactive Sunday
Published: 2023-11-26
Evans is inactive Sunday against the Steelers.
With Chase Brown back from IR, Evans is the odd man out in the Bengals' Week 12 backfield. Also in the mix against Pittsburgh Sunday are starter Joe Mixon, as well as Trayveon Williams.
Gets two offensive snaps in Week 11
Published: 2023-11-15
Evans played two of the Bengals' 64 snaps on offense and went without a carry or target in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Texans.
As usual, lead back Joe Mixon dominated the snaps and touches for the Bengals, leaving little opportunity left over for Evans and Trayveon Williams, who combined for one target and no carries. Williams out-snapped Evans by a 14-2 margin Sunday, so he would appear to be next in line for the starting role if Mixon were to miss time at any point.
Not involved in loss
Published: 2023-10-04
Evans failed to record a single snap in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Titans.
Evans did not see the field Sunday, as the veteran has fallen down the depth chart behind both Trayveon Williams and Chase Brown. With that said, Joe Mixon remains the only reliable fantasy back in this offense going forward, barring an injury. Evans should remain far of the fantasy radar going forward. The Bengals face the Cardinals in Week 5.
Inactive against Rams
Published: 2023-09-25
Evans is inactive for Monday night's game against the Rams.
With Evans the odd man out in the Bengals' Week 3 backfield, Trayveon Williams and Chase Brown are available to handle complementary snaps versus Los Angeles behind top running back Joe Mixon.
Healthy ahead of Week 3
Published: 2023-09-21
Evans (hamstring) is no longer listed on the Bengals' injury report ahead of Monday night's Week 3 game against the Rams, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Evans played just seven offensive snaps in the Week 1 loss and then missed last week's game against the Ravens. He's been no threat to Joe Mixon's workload and might even be behind Trayveon Williams on the depth chart. Evans has zero fantasy value.
Sitting out Sunday
Published: 2023-09-17
Evans (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Ravens, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Evans' absence will leave the team without their No. 3 running back and kick returner. In his place, Charlie Jones, who handles punt return duties, will likely also take over on kicks, while running back Chase Brown will make his NFL debut after being selected in the fifth round of the 2023 Draft.
Officially questionable for Sunday
Published: 2023-09-15
Evans (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Baltimore.
As expected, Evans will carry an injury designation into Cincinnati's matchup versus the Ravens in Week 2. If he's out, fifth-round rookie Chase Brown would likely be in line to make his NFL debut.
