Vikings-Bears inactives: Cornerback Akayleb Evans to miss second game Akayleb Evans was a full participant in Friday's practice, but the Vikings will give him the bye week to recover from the Nov. 12 calf strai...
NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • STARTRIBUNE.COM
Could return Week 12 Evans (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bears, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Evans missed Week 11 against the Broncos after sustaining a calf injury in Week 10 against the Saints. He was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday and his status may not be fully known until 90 minutes before kickoff time. Mekhi Blackmon played a season-high 50 defensive snaps at left corner in Week 11 when Evans was out and the former would appear to reprise that starting role if the latter is ruled out for Monday's game.

Limited practice Wednesday Evans (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Evans was able to overcome an oblique injury to play in Sunday's game against the Patriots and finished the game with four solo tackles while playing all but one defensive snap. Evans had also dealt with a knee injury that limited him in practices earlier in the season. Barring any setback, he should be good to go for Week 9 against the Falcons.
NOVEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Good to go Evans (oblique) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against the Vikings.
Impact After a week of limited practice sessions, Evans' health is close enough to par for him to suit up. Barring any setbacks, he should take on his usual role at cornerback opposite Byron Murphy.
OCTOBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable Monday Evans (oblique) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's game against San Francisco.
Impact The 24-year-old cornerback out of Missouri was limited all week in practice, as he's been dealing with oblique soreness since Minnesota's Week 6 win over Chicago. If Evans is unable to go Monday night, Andrew Booth and Mekhi Blackmon will likely see an increased workload in the Vikings' secondary.
OCTOBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Limited practice Thursday Evans (oblique) was a limited participant at the Vikings' practice Thursday.
Impact Evans is dealing with an oblique issue that popped up in Week 6 versus Chicago, but his ability to practice Thursday in any capacity bodes well for his chances to go Monday versus San Francisco. The linebacker will look to increase his workload this week at practice ahead of the Week 7 matchup.

Impact Evans has missed the last four games while on IR with a concussion, leaving Week 18 as his earliest possible date to return. However, the rookie cornerback was never designated to return to practice during Week 18 prep, so he's unlikely to be restored to the active roster in time for Sunday's regular-season finale versus Chicago. It will be worth monitoring how Evans' practice activity is handled heading into the wild-card round of the playoffs next week.

Vikings put Akayleb Evans on IR after latest concussion

The Minnesota Vikings placed cornerback Akayleb Evans on injured reserve after his most recent concussion
DECEMBER 7, 2022 • Associated Press
Lands on IR Minnesota placed Evans (concussion) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Evans had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions due to a concussion he picked up during the Week 13 win over the Jets, but he'll now be sidelined for at least four weeks after landing on IR. In Evans' absence, Duke Shelley is a prime candidate for an increased role in Minnesota's secondary, though Cameron Dantzler (ankle) could return to the mix soon after a stint on IR.

Won't play against Detroit Evans has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions due to a concussion, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact Evans exited Sunday's win over the Jets and has been diagnosed with a concussion. He'll be forced to miss at least one game, and he'll need to clear several steps as part of the league's concussion protocol before he's able to return to practice. Duke Shelley and Kris Boyd are candidates to see increased roles in Minnesota's secondary while Evans is sidelined.

Evaluated for concussion Sunday Evans was evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's 27-22 win over the Jets, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Impact Evans was making his return from a two-game absence due to a previous concussion. The 23-year-old recorded six tackles and a pass defended before exiting in the second half, and it's unclear if he was ever officially diagnosed with a concussion before the end of this Week 13 contest. It will be worth monitoring Evans' status heading into next Sunday's divisional matchup against Detroit.

Ready for Week 13 Evans is out of concussion protocol and will make his return to the field Sunday versus the Jets.
Impact Evans will return to Minnesota's secondary after missing the last two contests while recovering from a concussion. In his final two games prior to getting hurt, Evans recorded 12 tackles while seeing an increased workload with the defensive unit. The cornerback will likely step back into a significant role against the Jets since the Vikings will still be operating without Cameron Dantzler (ankle), who is on IR.
