Darrynton Evans: Reaches injury settlement
Evans (hamstring) was released from injured reserve by the Bills with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Evans played in just one preseason game for the Bills before suffering a hamstring injury. The 2020 third-round pick has struggled to find a home and stay healthy in the NFL, spending time with the Titans, Bears and Dolphins since entering the league but never playing more than seven regular-season games in a season. Once he's healthy, he'll be able to sign with another team, although a practice squad is his most likely destination.

Evans is slated to sign with the Bills, per his representation at Priority Sports.
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.

Bears' Darrynton Evans: Signs with Bears off practice squad
Evans signed with Chicago's active roster off the practice squad Saturday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

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.

The Bears elevated Evans from the practice squad ahead of Monday night's game against the Vikings, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

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.

Evans had three rushes for three yards in the Bears' 38-13 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Evans was activated to the active roster with Roschon Johnson (concussion) sitting this game out.

Bears' Darrynton Evans: Elevated to active roster
The Bears elevated Evans from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
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.

Darrynton Evans: Elevation candidate with RBs hurt
Evans is a candidate to be elevated from Chicago's practice squad prior to Sunday's game against the 49ers, as D'Andre Swift (quad) is listed as questionable while Roschon Johnson (concussion) has been ruled out.
The Bears also have Travis Homer on the roster, but Homer has been deployed mostly in a pass-catching capacity throughout his career, so Evans could see some run on early downs, especially if Swift is limited or unavailable. Swift was a limited participant in practice Friday after sitting out both Wednesday and Thursday. Evans dressed for 19 regular-season games spanning 2020-2023, with 11 of those appearances coming with the Bears.

Darrynton Evans: Headed to Chicago
The Bears signed Evans to their practice squad Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Evans was dropped by the Bills on Oct. 29, but he's already found a new home in Chicago. The Appalachian State product's most recent in-game action came in 2023 with the Dolphins, when he appeared in two contests and recorded 16 rushing yards on two carries. He could be elevated to Chicago's active roster at some point this season, especially after Khalil Herbert was traded to the Bengals on Tuesday.

Darrynton Evans: Let go by Buffalo
The Bills released Evans (hamstring) from IR on Tuesday.
Evans started the regular season on injured reserve after injuring his hamstring during the Bills' preseason finale against the Panthers in late August. His 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Oct. 9, but the Bills don't have room for Evans to join the active roster alongside fellow running backs James Cook, Ray Davis and Ty Johnson. Frank Gore is the lone running back on the Bills' practice squad, so while Evans could stick around in Buffalo, once he's healthy he'll have the option to explore his opportunities elsewhere and catch on with a team in need of depth at running back.

Bills' Darrynton Evans: Doubtful for Week 8
Evans (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.
The Appalachian State product must still be activated to the Bills' active roster in order to suit up Sunday. Despite back-to-back weeks without practice limitations, Evans is expected to miss his eighth consecutive game due to a hamstring injury. However, if he is activated ahead of Sunday's contest, he'll likely serve as the team's fourth-string running back behind Ty Johnson, Ray Davis and James Cook.
