The Buffalo Bills have placed running back Darrynton Evans on injured reserve after he suffered a hamstring injury at joint practice on Friday, Aug. 15.

Evans signed with Buffalo in March after spending 2024 with the Chicago Bears, rushing for three yards on three carries. He has appeared in 24 games over five seasons and has 77 career touches while also serving as a special teams player.

Darrynton Evans has agreed to terms with the Bills.

Fantasy Impact

Evans spent the first two months of the 2024 season on IR with the Bills before being released. He finished the year with the Bears, recording three carries for three yards. While the Bills clearly see potential in Evans by bringing him back, fantasy managers should expect a limited role as he'll serve as depth.

Darrynton Evans carried the ball three times for three yards in the Bears' 38-13 loss to the 49ers in Week 14.

Fantasy Impact

Evans made minimal impact in his first game action of the season, averaging 1.0 yards per carry in a losing effort. The running back will likely be relegated back to the practice squad if Roschon Johnson (concussion) is able to suit up in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Darrynton Evans has been elevated from the practice squad.

Fantasy Impact

With Roschon Johnson out this weekend due to a concussion, Evans is likely to be active for Sunday's game to provide depth at running back and contribute on special teams.

Darrynton Evans hauled in three receptions for 28 yards and a touchdown against the Panthers to go along with 15 ground yards on three attempts.

Fantasy Impact

The 2020 third-round pick will look to play for his fourth career NFL team this coming season.
