The Jets waived Evans from the reserve/retired list Tuesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans will hang up his cleats after a two-year NFL career. The 2023 sixth-round pick saw his only regular-season action in his rookie season with the Rams, when he turned nine carries into 19 yards across 10 games while mostly playing on special teams.

The Jets placed Evans (undisclosed) on the reserve/retired list Monday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans signed a reserve/future contract with the Jets in January after joining the team's practice squad in mid-December, but the 24-year-old will hang up his cleats. The 2023 sixth-rounder last saw regular-season action during his rookie campaign with the Rams, when he logged nine carries for 19 yards in 10 games while mostly serving on special teams. Evans finished his three-year college career with Ole Miss in 2022, where he rushed for 936 yards and nine touchdowns on 144 carries while adding 12 catches for 119 yards and one touchdown across 11 games.

The Jets signed Evans to a reserve/future contract Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old was added to the Jets' practice squad mid-December after being cut from the Rams' practice squad in late August. Evans, a 2023 sixth-round pick from Ole Miss, appeared in 10 games with the Rams during his rookie campaign, taking nine carries for 19 yards across 16 offensive snaps.

The Jets signed Evans to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans had been without a team since being cut from the Rams' practice squad in late August. He'll now give the Jets some depth at running back and could be elevated to the active roster if Braelon Allen (back) is unable to play Sunday against the Rams.

The Rams waived Evans from the practice squad Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Evans was unable to make the Rams' 53-man roster Tuesday, but he was invited back to sign with the taxi squad the next day. However, the Rams claimed Cody Schrader off waivers from the 49ers on Wednesday, and with four running backs on the roster, it appears that Evans' services on the practice squad were no longer needed. Evans, who the Rams selected in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, finished the preseason strong with 45 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries against the Texans on Saturday. He played in 10 regular-season games in his rookie season, and he should get plenty of interest from teams who are looking to add depth to its backfield.

Evans was waived by the Rams on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The running back ran for 45 yards and two touchdowns in the team's final preseason game but still fell short on cut-down day. Evans was fighting for a possible third spot behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. The 2023 sixth-round pick carried the ball just nine times for 19 yards as a rookie despite a rash of injuries in the Rams backfield.

Evans rushed 14 times for 45 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Saturday's preseason finale against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Evans split rushing duties with Boston Scott (leg) as the two had been doing all preseason sans starters. The former separated himself from the veteran in this contest by cashing in both of the Rams' rushing touchdowns on the day. The top three spots on the RB depth chart are firm, but Evans could sneak his way onto the roster ahead of Scott as RB4 if he the 2023 sixth-round pick is not stashed on the practice squad.

Evans gained 62 yards on 16 rushing attempts in Saturday's preseason win over the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Evans received the first running back touch for the Rams on Saturday, but he was far less efficient on a per-carry basis (3.9 yards) compared to veteran backup Boston Scott. The latter ripped off 55 yards on just 10 carries as the Rams rested the trio of tailbacks ahead of Saturday's actives on LA's depth chart. Neither of the tailbacks competing for a remaining roster spot received a target in the exhibition win.

Evans carried the ball 12 times for 28 yards and caught his only target for 24 yards in Sunday's 13-12 preseason win over the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Boston Scott played the first three quarters as the Rams' lead back, with Evans entering the game in the final quarter and gaining little on the ground. The duo appear to be at the bottom of the RB depth chart for the Rams, with Kyren Williams, rookie Blake Corum and Ronnie Rivers all sitting out the team's preseason opener. Given Evans' usage Sunday, he would seem to have an uphill climb ahead of him just to make the 53-man roster.

Evans faces a difficult path to earning a spot on the final roster and is a candidate to be cut before the start of the 2024 regular season, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans, a 2023 sixth-round pick, only logged nine rush attempts for 19 yards across 10 regular-season appearances as a rookie, despite the Rams suffering a number of injuries to their backfield. A healthy Kyren Williams remains entrenched atop the depth chart and projects for a workhorse role, while rookie third-rounder Blake Corum projects as his top backup. Boston Scott and Ronnie Rivers are relatively established as capable depth options, so unless he can truly impress in training camp, Evans may find himself the odd man out.
