Good hands on display Evans continues to display good hands and route-running in training camp, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Impact Evans could be involved in obvious passing situations if the Bengals want to give Joe Mixon a few snaps off here and there. It's worth noting that Evans was described as the token bright spot in an otherwise lousy day for the Bengals' offense in camp.

Shows pass-catching potential Evans displayed "sure hands and smooth route running" during the Bengals' OTAs and minicamp, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Impact Though Joe Mixon remains the Bengals' clear-cut top back and Samaje Perine is on hand to spell him in early down situations, Evans' pass-catching skills could lead to a role in the team's offense following the offseason departure of Giovani Bernard. In order to cement a spot in the team's backfield pecking order, however, Evans -- a rookie sixth-round pick -- will need to continue to impress in training camp, where he'll compete for slotting with Perine, Trayveon Williams, Jacques Patrick and Pooka Williams.
