Chris Evans Downgraded Thursday

one year ago

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chris Evans (hamstring) sat out of practice on Thursday after he was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday. The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. writes that it's not a great sign for Evans' chances of playing in Week 2 versus the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. The third-year running back has opened the 2023 season as Joe Mixon's primary backup, but he had only two carries for 12 yards and caught one pass for a loss of one yard in the Week 1 loss to the Cleveland Browns. If Evans is forced to sit out the Week 2 contest, Trayveon Williams will take on a bigger role as the backup, with rookie Chase Brown likely making his NFL debut after he was a healthy scratch in the season opener.
