Solid rookie campaign in Carolina Evans caught 19 of 25 targets for 171 yards and two touchdowns and rushed once for one yard across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

Impact Despite opening the season as the Panthers' No. 3 tight end, Evans started 10 games and played 391 offensive snaps during his rookie campaign, largely due to Carolina's frequent use of two- and three-tight-end sets. The 2025 fifth-round pick from Notre Dame was used primarily as a blocker but also held his own as a receiver, averaging 9.0 yards per reception. With Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle, IR) out for Carolina's 2025 playoff run, Evans is set to operate as the team's top backup behind Tommy Tremble. Even with Tremble and Sanders under contract for 2026 season, Evans will likely be more involved in the Panthers' offensive game plan.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • Associated Press

One catch vs. Seattle Evans caught one of two targets for five yards and rushed once for one yard during Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Evans led the Panthers' tight end room in targets for the second consecutive game during Sunday's loss, but it didn't translate to production. The rookie from Notre Dame has now caught 18 of 23 targets for 166 yards and two touchdowns while appearing in all 16 of Carolina's games this season. He could be in line for more receiving work in the Week 18 matchup against the Buccaneers with Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Records 23 yards in win Evans caught all three of his targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact The rookie from Notre Dame paced the Panthers' tight-end corps in receptions, targets and yards during Sunday's divisional win. He's been an important part of Carolina's offense as both a blocker and receiver this season, appearing in all 15 games and catching 17 of 21 targets for 161 yards and two touchdowns. His role may continue to grow in the Panthers' Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.

Impact Evans led the Panthers' tight-end corps in targets, receptions and yards during Sunday's upset win, while Ja'Tavion Sanders (no targets) and Tommy Tremble (one catch for two yards on two targets) saw minimal involvement. Evans, a 2025 fifth-round pick from Notre Dame, has now caught 14 of 18 targets for 138 yards and two touchdowns through 13 contests this season. His role could continue to grow within Carolina's offense as the year progresses.

NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • Associated Press

Logs 28 yards vs. Falcons Evans caught both of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons.

Impact Prior to the Week 11 win, Evans hadn't recorded a catch since the Week 7 win over the Jets, receiving just one target during that stretch. He logged 29 offensive snaps during Sunday's win but still operated as the Panthers' No. 3 tight end, playing behind Tommy Tremble (42 snaps) and Ja'Tavion Sanders (37 snaps). Evans is likely to remain a limited offensive role for the Week 12 matchup against the 49ers.

Returns to game Evans (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Saints, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact The tight end injured his ankle earlier in the first half, walked off under his own power and briefly went to the locker room. The injury must not have been serious, as it didn't take long for Evans to return to the contest.
