Darrynton Evans: Everything you need to know

Evans (hamstring) worked out for the Giants on Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Evans spent the offseason and training camp with the Bills but suffered a hamstring injury in mid-August before being let go with an injury settlement ahead of Week 1. Now healthy, the veteran running back is looking for a new opportunity. The Giants need backfield help after losing Cam Skattebo to a season-ending ankle injury in Week 8.

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.

The Bills placed Evans (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday. Evans was injured during practice last week and didn't play in the second preseason contest. He'll now be forced to sit out the entirety of the 2025 season unless he's later released with an injury settlement.
