Evans (hamstring) worked out for the Giants on Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans spent the offseason and training camp with the Bills but suffered a hamstring injury in mid-August before being let go with an injury settlement ahead of Week 1. Now healthy, the veteran running back is looking for a new opportunity. The Giants need backfield help after losing Cam Skattebo to a season-ending ankle injury in Week 8.

Evans (hamstring) was released from injured reserve by the Bills with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans played in just one preseason game for the Bills before suffering a hamstring injury. The 2020 third-round pick has struggled to find a home and stay healthy in the NFL, spending time with the Titans, Bears and Dolphins since entering the league but never playing more than seven regular-season games in a season. Once he's healthy, he'll be able to sign with another team, although a practice squad is his most likely destination.

The Bills placed Evans (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Evans was injured during practice last week and didn't play in the second preseason contest. He'll now be forced to sit out the entirety of the 2025 season unless he's later released with an injury settlement.

Evans (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's preseason matchup with the Bears, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis

Evans is tending to a hamstring injury, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans presumably picked up the issue during a training camp practice, and now his availability for Sunday's preseason contest at Chicago is in question. If he can't play in that game, it could mean more snaps for Frank Gore.

Evans is slated to sign with the Bills, per his representation at Priority Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans appeared in five games with Chicago last season while also spending time on the team's practice squad. Across those five appearances, he rushed three times for three yards and played on special teams. Now, the 2020 third-round pick will get a chance to compete for a reserve role in Buffalo.

Evans signed with Chicago's active roster off the practice squad Saturday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans is likely to work as Chicago's third-string running back behind D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson on Sunday against the Lions, as Travis Homer (hamstring) is listed as doubtful. A roster spot for Evans opened up when the Bears placed guard Ryan Bates on injured reserve.

Evans reverted to Chicago's practice squad on Wednesday. per the NFL's official transactions report.
EDGE Analysis
The Bears elevated Evans for Monday night's loss to the Vikings, but he was ultimately only called upon to handle seven snaps on special-teams. If Roschon Johnson (concussion) is again unable to suit up Sunday versus Detroit, Evans will be a candidate to be elevated as a depth option behind D'Andre Swift again.

The Bears elevated Evans from the practice squad ahead of Monday night's game against the Vikings, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Roschon Johnson (concussion) out and D'Andre Swift (groin) coming into Monday night hobbled, the Bears need some extra backfield depth. Evans carried the ball three times for three yards last week against San Francisco.

Evans reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Evans was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers, turning three carries into three yards while playing three offensive snaps. The running back could be asked to join the Bears' roster again in Week 15 versus the Vikings on Monday Night Football with Travis Homer (head) and Roschon Johnson (concussion) potentially banged up.
