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.

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.

Evans had three rushes for three yards in the Bears' 38-13 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Evans was activated to the active roster with Roschon Johnson (concussion) sitting this game out. Despite functioning as the No. 3 running back, Travis Homer suffered a head injury, resulting in Evans seeing more action than anticipated. If Chicago continues to deal with running back injuries, Evans could be elevated from the practice squad during the fantasy playoffs.

The Bears elevated Evans from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans joined the Bears' practice squad Nov. 6 after being let go from the Bills' injured reserve Oct. 29 due to a hamstring injury he suffered in late August. Evans will be on the Bears' active roster for Sunday's game against the 49ers, and he could see some snaps on offense due to Roschon Johnson (concussion) being ruled out. If D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) is also unable to play, Evans would serve as the Bears' No. 2 running back behind Travis Homer.
