Panthers' Akayleb Evans: Sidelined for Week 6
Evans (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.
Evans likely sustained a hamstring injury in Carolina's Week 5 win over the Dolphins that's now holding him out of Sunday's contest. The fourth-year pro has played just seven defensive snaps through five games, so his absence will likely have minimal impact on the Panthers' defense in Week 6.

Panthers' Akayleb Evans: Picked up by Carolina
The Panthers claimed Evans off waivers Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The third-year corner from Missouri was waived by the Vikings on Saturday after playing almost strictly on special teams (just three defensive snaps in seven games) this season, but he's already found a new home in Carolina. Evans played 832 defensive snaps across 15 regular-season games with the Vikings in 2023, recording 65 total tackles and seven passes defended, including one interception. He's now expected to serve as a depth piece in the Panthers' secondary.

Akayleb Evans: Cut by Vikings
Minnesota is waiving Evans on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Evans was a fourth-round selection by the Vikings in the 2022 NFL Draft and started all 15 regular-season games in which he played last season. However, he's been used almost exclusively on special teams this year, logging only three defensive snaps over seven contests. Undrafted rookie Dwight McGlothern, who has yet to play this season while consistently being a healthy scratch on gameday, could start to see some work with Evans now out of the mix.
