News

  • Lands on IR

    Evans (knee) has been placed on IR by the Titans.

    Analysis: Evans, who had been dealing with a knee issue, will thus miss at least the first three games of the regular season. Now that he's unavailable to the team, at least early on, Mekhi Sargent's profile in the offense behind undisputed top back Derrick Henry should expand, while Jeremy McNichols remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list. In that context, we wouldn't be surprised to see Tennessee add backfield depth in short order as NFL rosters continue to shuffle in the wake of initial cut-downs.

  • Misses preseason finale

    Evans (knee) didn't play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Bears, Mike Moraitis of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: The running back still is bouncing back from a knee issue, and with Brian Hill (undisclosed) now on IR and Jeremy McNichols (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the team's depth behind starter Derrick Henry currently is taxed. When healthy, Evans profiles as the Titans' No. 2 RB, though it's an assignment that doesn't carry much fantasy utility so long as Henry is available.

  • Misses Saturday's game

    Evans (leg) didn't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers, Steve Layman of newschannel5.com reports.

    Analysis: Nor did top back Derrick Henry, which paved the way for Mekhi Sargent, Brian Hill and Jeremy McNichols to handle the team's rushing duties Saturday. Evans is penciled in as Henry's top backup, but he'll need to bounce back from what appears to be a knee or hamstring issue that has slowed him of late in order to fend off the challenges presented by Sargent, Hill and McNichols.

  • Considered day-to-day

    Coach Mike Vrabel said Evans (knee) is day-to-day after his early exit from Friday's preseason win over Atlanta, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Evans got the start and took four carries for 26 yards, working ahead of Jeremy McNichols, Brian Hill and Mekhi Sargent. The Titans then used McNichols and Sargent throughout the second quarter, followed by Hill and Sargent after halftime. Only Evans topped 3.6 YPC, though Sargent (16 carries for 58 yards) and Hill (12 for 43) did handle far more volume. Assuming the knee injury isn't serious, Evans remains the favorite for the No. 2 RB spot behind workhorse Derrick Henry. It's a job that…read more

  • Picks up knee injury

    Evans is questionable to return to Friday's preseason game in Atlanta, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Evans limped off the field late in the first quarter but not before taking four carries for 26 yards and gathering in his only target for two yards. He started for stud running back Derrick Henry, who clearly doesn't need reps during exhibition season, but Evans' opportunity may be short-lived. If Evans is unable to return, Brian Hill, Jeremy McNichols and Mekhi Sargent will be the RBs available to the Titans offense.

  • Getting starting nod Friday

    Titans head coach Mike Vrabel relayed Wednesday that Evans will start Friday's preseason contest in Atlanta, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.

    Analysis: With Derrick Henry not needing many, if any, preseason touches, Evans and the rest of the Titans backfield are poised for plenty of work in the team's three exhibitions. As a rookie third-rounder last season, Evans battled injuries and fumbles, averaging just 3.9 yards on 14 carries and hauling in two of four targets for 27 yards and one touchdown in five appearances.

  • Getting heavy workload

    Evans has adjusted well to new wrinkles in the offense and has carried a big workload in camp, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Evans was listed as the co-No. 2 running back on the team's initial depth chart. That was a strong vote of confidence for the second-year back and this report only reinforces that placement. Evans may find it difficult to fully surpass Brian Hill on the depth chart early on in the season, though he could be in a position to get some work behind Derrick Henry -- particularly in the passing game.

  • In competition for backup job

    Evans was listed alongside Brian Hill as the Titans' second running back on the first official depth chart of the season, Gentry Estes of the Tennessean reports.

    Analysis: Evans was expected to battle with Hill and Jeremy McNichols for the team's second running back job. That Evans is already listed ahead of McNichols is a significant step forward, as he was sidelined for large portions of his rookie campaign with hamstring and shoulder injuries. Of course, even if he wins the backup job, Evans will not see significant touches without an injury to Derrick Henry.

  • Pushing for backup job

    Evans looked fast during spring practices and could earn a role in the Tennessee offense this season, Joe Rexrode of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 2020 third-round pick was limited to five games and 16 touches as a rookie, with recurring hamstring injuries affecting his availability. Now healthy, Evans will challenge Jeremy McNichols for snaps on passing downs, while free-agent acquisition Brian Hill is the chief competition to spell bell cow Derrick Henry on early downs. Even if he wins both roles, Evans will have a hard time establishing mainstream fantasy value unless Henry misses time. Apart from Henry, Tennessee tailbacks…read more

  • Clear of shoulder injury

    Evans (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's wild-card round game against the Ravens after practicing fully Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Evans was limited Wednesday and Thursday but shrugged off the injury Friday and should be good to go for Sunday's playoff game. Barring an injury to Derrick Henry, the rookie third-round pick will feature almost exclusively on special teams.

  • Limited in Wednesday's session

    Evans was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report with a shoulder injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Evans rarely sees the field on offense with Derrick Henry holding a near monopoly on the touches out of Tennessee's backfield, but the rookie third-round pick has carved out a sizable special-teams role heading into Sunday's wild-card round game against the Ravens. He played 17 special-teams snaps in the Week 17 win over the Texans, returning one kickoff for 16 yards.

    Published: Wed, Jan 6 at 1:12pm by Rotowire.com

  • Role on special teams continues

    Evans did not record a rush or target in Week 17 against the Texans. He returned one kick for 16 yards.

    Analysis: Evans was on the field for only one offensive snap and did not record a statistic. However, he did log 17 special teams snaps and continued to serve as the primary kick returner for the Titans. Evans had a quiet rookie year, in part due to a hamstring injury and also because of Derrick Henry's dominance. He'll look to make a special teams impact during the Titans' wild-card matchup with the Ravens.

  • Busy on kick returns

    Evans ran the ball once for three yards, and he failed to haul in either of his targets during Sunday night's 40-14 loss to Green Bay. He also recorded 145 yards on six kickoff returns.

    Analysis: Evans made his second game appearance since overcoming a hamstring injury and being removed from IR on Dec. 7. The third-round rookie enjoyed a significantly more effective outing in registering 57 scrimmage yards and a touchdown over 10 Week 15 touches against the Lions. Tennessee was pushed into a pass-heavy attack that mitigated Evans' involvement Sunday night, never leading in the game and falling behind by as many as 19 points in the second and third quarters.

  • Scores touchdown in garbage time

    Evans carried the ball eight times for 30 yards in Week 15 against the Lions. He added two receptions for 27 yards and a touchdown.

    Analysis: Evans was active for the first time since Week 5 after battling a hamstring injury that placed him on injured reserve. He was the only back besides Derrick Henry to earn a touch on the week, though he didn't get an offensive touch until early in the fourth quarter. Regarded as a strong pass-catching back coming out of Appalachian State, Evans excelled in that role to record his first professional touchdown.

  • Not active Sunday

    Evans (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Evans was activated from injured reserve at the start of the week, but he won't be suiting up in his first game back on the 53-man roster. Jeremy McNichols has secured the No. 2 job in the backfield behind Derrick Henry, and Senorise Perry is also active as a depth option.

  • Comes off IR

    The Titans activated Evans (hamstring) from injured reserve Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Tennessee monitored Evans throughout almost the entirety of his 21-day practice window, but the team now will get the rookie third-round pick back in action to close out the regular season. D'Onta Foreman and Jeremy McNichols have both been solid in reserve work behind Derrick Henry in recent weeks, however, so Evans may not be an immediate lock for the No. 2 role.

  • Practicing Wednesday

    Evans (hamstring) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Titans designated Evans for return from injured reserve Monday, giving him a 21-day window to be evaluated at practice. He can be officially moved to the active roster at any point in that span. Both Jeremy McNichols and D'Onta Foreman have been solid as depth options behind Derrick Henry in recent weeks, so Evans could face competition for touches once he's back on the field.

  • Prepping to return from IR

    Evans (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday.

    Analysis: Evans will return to practice this week, and if everything goes well, he could be ready for this Sunday's clash against the Ravens. He officially has 21 days to be evaluated before the team needs to move him to the active roster. It's unclear what his role will be upon return because Jeremy McNichols has been a solid change-of-pace back behind Derrick Henry of late.

  • Placed on IR

    Evans (hamstring) has been placed on IR, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Evans, who was forced out of Tuesday's game against the Bills, thus will be forced to miss at least three games with his hamstring injury. In Evans' upcoming absence, Jeremy McNichols is in line to handle change-of-pace work behind top back Derrick Henry.

  • Listed as DNP on practice estimate

    Evans (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, John Glennon of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Evans injured his hamstring in the first half of Tuesday's win over the Bills and was unable to return, so it's not surprising that he would be sidelined if the Titans held a practice Wednesday. Jeremy McNichols, who stepped into the change-of-pace role following Evans' departure, was also listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's report with a rib injury. If Evans is forced to miss this Sunday's matchup against the Texans, McNichols -- if healthy -- will operate as the No. 2 back behind…read more

  • Exits with hamstring injury

    Evans was forced out of Tuesday's game versus the Bills with a hamstring injury, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.

    Analysis: Evans recorded 12 yards on two carries before exiting the game, showing impressive burst as a change-of-pace back. He was spotted on a stationary bike before halftime, so he may try to return in the third quarter. Jeremy McNichols is expected to see an uptick in usage behind Derrick Henry if Evans doesn't return.

  • Three touches in debut

    Evans recorded three carries for nine yards Week 3 against Minnesota.

    Analysis: Evans made his NFL debut and split duties as the team's backup running back with Jeremy McNichols. He had gains of four, two and three yards, making no notable impact on the game. However, the fact that he quickly earned a role in the Titans offense is encouraging for his potential in the event that Derrick Henry is sidelined at any point.

  • Finally healthy

    Evans (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Evans missed Tennessee's first two games, but he's poised to finally make his NFL debut Sunday against the Vikings. The rookie third-rounder should serve in a change-of-pace role behind workhorse running back Derrick Henry.

  • Debut postponed again

    Evans (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Evans will miss the second straight contest of his rookie campaign. The backup running back was a full participant in practice to begin the week, but he was limited Thursday and has now been ruled out for game-time action entirely, so he may have suffered an injury setback. Jeremy McNichols will continue to handle No. 2 duties behind Derrick Henry as long as Evans remains sidelined.

  • Regresses to limited participation

    Evans (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

    Analysis: The limited workout amounts to a downgrade in activity for Evans, who was listed as a full participant in the Titans' first session of the week Wednesday. At this point, it's unclear if Evans' limitations were simply precautionary, or indicative of a setback suffered during the session. The Titans will decide whether or not Evans will carry a designation into the Week 2 game against the Jaguars based on what he's able to do in Friday's practice. If cleared to play this weekend, Evans would…read more

  • Full-go at practice

    Evans (hamstring) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.

    Analysis: Evans sat out the season opener due to this injury, but the rookie third-round pick will make his NFL debut Week 2 against the Jaguars if he can avoid a setback. He doesn't have much fantasy upside as long as Derrick Henry stays healthy, as Henry was the only Titans RB to record a carry Week 1, finishing with 31 for 116 yards.

  • Not playing Monday

    Evans (hamstring) will not play Monday against the Broncos, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Evans was a limited participant in practice all week but the Titans evidently didn't feel comfortable with Evans as the primary backup to Derrick Henry. Senorise Perry will act in the capacity Monday, although it's possible the Titans could also bring up a running back from the practice squad to provide depth. The team has until Monday to make that roster decision.

  • Limited practice Thursday

    Evans (hamstring) was limited at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Evans' return to practice Thursday puts him on track to suit up Monday night against the Broncos. The 2020 third-rounder is listed as the Titans' top backup behind clear-cut lead runner Derrick Henry, a context that should land Evans change-of-pace touches out of the gate this season.

  • On track for practice

    Evans (undisclosed) is scheduled to resume practicing Thursday afternoon, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Early reports from training camp suggested the rookie was struggling with fumbles, and he's now missed more than a week and a half of practice due to an unspecified injury. Evans still has time to prove his health before Week 1, but it isn't clear he'll be a significant part of the offensive gameplan in Tennessee's Monday night opener at Denver.

  • Absences racking up

    Evans (undisclosed) has missed six straight practices, Eric Bacharach of the Nashville Tennesseean reports.

    Analysis: Derrick Henry is the clear leader of the Titans' backfield, but Evans was expected to work as a change-of-pace back behind him. While it's unclear what has held Evans out of practice, his absence is concerning given the lack of full-speed reps he'll have prior to the regular-season kickoff Sept. 14.

  • Sidlined during Sunday's practice

    Evans (undisclosed) didn't participate in Sunday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: There's no indication of why Evans didn't practice Sunday, and it could simply be a maintenance day. The rookie third-round pick has been a bit inconsistent in training camp with fumbles, but his explosiveness has been evident, making him one of the more useful fantasy backups if he stays healthy.

  • Mixed bag in camp

    Evans has looked explosive in camp but has also struggled with fumbles, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Evans has reportedly looked explosive early on in practice, standing out on several occasions. However, he also fumbled twice at practice Sunday, showing some of the inconsistency that can be expected of rookies.

  • Makes early impression

    Evans showed explosion during one-on-one drills Friday during practice, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

    Analysis: Evans slipped on a cone during one rep of the drill but still managed to recover and beat the defender. It was one example of the explosiveness Evans displayed at Appalachian State, which he followed up with an impressive performance at the 2020 combine. The third-round pick's role as a backup to workhorse Derrick Henry will limit Evans' rushing work, but he could contribute as a receiver out of the backfield immediately.

  • Earns Tannehill's respect

    Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been impressed with Evans, mentioning the rookie's speed and pass-catching skill as strong points, Jim Wyatt of the team's officials website reports.

    Analysis: Tannehill and Evans obviously haven't practiced in pads, but they did spend some time training together in Florida this offseason. The No. 93 overall pick out of Appalachian State is expected to replace Dion Lewis, who signed with the Giants in March after taking 54 carries and 32 targets last season for the Titans while playing 37 percent of offensive snaps. With 4.41 speed in a 5-10, 203-pound frame, Evans doesn't quite have prototypical measurements for an NFL lead back, but he could…read more
