Chris Evans - Labeled day-to-day Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Evans (hamstring) is viewed as day-to-day heading into Sunday's game against the Jets, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports. Impact Though Evans didn't take an injury designation into the Bengals' win over the Ravens this past weekend, Taylor said the rookie running back was limited to a special-teams role because his hamstring was still bothering him. Fortunately for Cincinnati, Samaje Perine was back after a one-game absence due to a positive COVID-19 test, and he was able to reclaim duties as the top backup to Joe Mixon. Evans probably amounts to an upgrade over Perine on passing downs, so the former could recapture a small role on offense once the injury is fully behind him.
