• Bears' Darrynton Evans: Claimed by Bears

  03/11/2022 •

  The Bears have claimed Evans off waivers from the Titans. The 2020 third-rounder was waived by the Titans on Thursday, but now that he's been claimed by the Bears, Evans will look to secure a depth role in Chicago's backfield behind David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert, who remain under contract with the team in 2022. Injuries derailed Evans' first two pro seasons, but when healthy, the 5-foot-10, 203-pounder offers change-of-pace utility.

• Darrynton Evans: Cut by Titans

  The Titans waived Evans on Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports. The 2020 third-rounder saw action in just one regular-season game last year before landing on IR with a knee issue. The 5-foot-10, 203-pounder will now look to catch on elsewhere as a depth running back. Meanwhile, the Titans will need to restock their backfield options behind Derrick Henry, with both D'Onta Foreman and Dontrell Hilliard poised to become unrestricted free agents.

• Titans' Darrynton Evans: Limited by knee issue

  Evans was a limited participant at Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. The 23-year-old made his season debut Week 7 against the Chiefs after missing the first six weeks of the year with the knee injury, and he's now back on the injury report. It's unclear if Evans aggravated that injury or if he's dealing with a new issue, but the fact he was still practicing in some capacity indicates it may not be a serious concern.

  Evans carried the ball twice for seven yards in Sunday's 27-3 win over Kansas City. He added two receptions for 11 yards. Evans was activated off injured reserve Saturday and played six offensive snaps. As expected, he worked as a backup to Derrick Henry, though he split second-string duties with Jeremy McNichols. So long as he is healthy, Henry will clearly maintain a heavy workload out of the backfield, though it's unclear whether Evans or McNichols will now serve as his primary backup.

• Titans' Darrynton Evans: Activated off IR

  Evans (knee) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Evans will now slot in a backfield increasingly dominated by the impossibly successful Derrick Henry. Jeremy McNichols (ankle) has operated as the team's pass-catching back to begin the season, but he's played just 15 offensive snaps combined over the last two weeks and could yield that role to Evans given his struggles as of late.
