Dallas had elevated Evans from the practice squad each of the previous three weeks, so it was necessary for the team to sign him to the active roster in order for him to suit up Week 11. Evans played on a season-high 46 percent of the Cowboys' defensive snaps last Sunday against the Giants, tallying two assisted tackles. His role as a depth linebacker is especially important with the news that Leighton Vander Esch (neck) won't return this season.

Evans joined the Cowboys' practice squad Oct. 12 after being granted his release from the Eagles' taxi squad Sept. 16. He registered 159 tackles last season for the Falcons while playing in all 17 games and will provide crucial depth at linebacker with Leighton Vander Esch (neck) on injured reserve.
