Moves to IR Evans (leg) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Impact 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 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.

Inactive Sunday Evans is inactive Sunday against the Steelers.

Impact 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 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.

Impact 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.

Inactive Saturday Evans (Coach's Decision) is inactive for Saturday's matchup with the Patriots.

Impact With Joe Mixon, Samaje Perine and Trayveon Williams ahead of him on the depth chart and active, Evans will again be a healthy scratch for the Bengals. The 25-year-old has suited up just four times this season and has not suited up since Week 13.

Not active against Browns Evans (coach's decision) is inactive Week 14 against the Browns.

Impact Evans has been used as a depth running back option this year, but he typically sees most of his work on special teams. With Joe Mixon returning from a concussion this week, the Bengals will elect to keep Trayveon Williams active as the presumed RB3, with Evans now a healthy scratch.

Game-winning touchdown Evans caught the game-winning touchdown pass in Sunday's win over the Chiefs, an eight-yard play in the flats in the fourth quarter.

Impact That was the only touch for Evans in the game, but he made it count. Even if Joe Mixon (concussion) does not return next week, Evans will only play a small role in the offense.

Zero touches Evans was held without a carry or catch in Sunday's win over the Titans.

Impact More importantly, teammate Trayveon Williams did contribute offensively, with two carries and a catch. Evans also committed a bad penalty on a "pick" play in the first quarter, wiping out a big Tee Higgins catch-and-run.

Suiting up Sunday Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Evans (knee) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Titans, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Evans will return to the field for the first time since Week 9, with his knee injury keeping him sidelined for the Bengals' last two games. Though he's seen most of his work on special teams this season, Evans could have more of a role on offense in Week 12 while top back Joe Mixon (concussion) is sidelined. Samaje Perine is slated to pick up the start, while Evans could serve as the primary change-of-pace option behind him. The Bengals also have Trayveon Williams on hand for backfield depth, though he's more likely to be deployed as a runner than a pass catcher.

Listed as full participant Evans (knee) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's practice report, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Impact Evans missed last week's win over the Steelers due to a knee injury and was limited at practice Wednesday, but he appears to be back to full health ahead of Sunday's game in Tennessee. Joe Mixon is in the league's concussion protocol, so it's possible Evans will take on a starting role in Week 12.

NOVEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs limited practice Wednesday Evans (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Tennessee, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Impact With regular starting running back Joe Mixon in concussion protocol, Evans could be in line to serve as Cincinnati's primary backup in Week 12, but he'll need to make it onto the field himself first. Getting onto the practice field Wednesday is a good start, though a full session Thursday or Friday would help to solidify his status ahead of Sunday.

NOVEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Week 11 Evans (knee) has been ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Evans was considered questionable to play against Pittsburgh after injuring the PCL in his right knee against Carolina in Week 9. While he had some extra time to recover coming off the Bengals' Week 10 bye, he'll ultimately be sidelined until at least the team's next contest against Tennessee on Sunday, Nov. 27. With Evans out, expect Trayveon Williams to serve as Cincinnati's third-string running back while Trent Taylor handles kick-return duties.

Iffy for Sunday Evans (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Impact Evans sustained a knee injury during Cincinnati's Week 9 win over the Panthers, but he was ultimately given some extra time to recover with the team's Week 10 bye. The 25-year-old practiced in a limited fashion in each of the Bengals' sessions heading into Sunday's contest versus Pittsburgh, but if he's eventually ruled out this weekend, Trent Taylor would be the likely candidate to handle kick returns.

NOVEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited Wednesday Evans (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Evans left the team's Week 9 matchup against Carolina due to a knee injury and was considered week-to-week after being diagnosed with a PCL injury. Cincinnati's Week 10 bye appears to have been beneficial for the second-year return man, but he'll likely have to log at least one full participation over the next two days to be cleared for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh.

Week-to-week with PCL issue Evans is considered week-to-week after suffering a PCL injury during Sunday's win over the Panthers, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Evans departed Sunday's matchup versus Carolina with an apparent knee injury, after he logged just one offensive snap and four special teams opportunities in the contest. If the second-year pro is unable to gain medical clearance before Cincinnati's Week 11 game against Pittsburgh, then Trent Taylor appears next in line to handle kick returns.
