Not active Sunday Evans (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at Jacksonville.

Impact Evans was activated from injured reserve at the start of the week, but he won't be suiting up in his first game back on the 53-man roster. Jeremy McNichols has secured the No. 2 job in the backfield behind Derrick Henry, and Senorise Perry is also active as a depth option.

Comes off IR The Titans activated Evans (hamstring) from injured reserve Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Tennessee monitored Evans throughout almost the entirety of his 21-day practice window, but the team now will get the rookie third-round pick back in action to close out the regular season. D'Onta Foreman and Jeremy McNichols have both been solid in reserve work behind Derrick Henry in recent weeks, however, so Evans may not be an immediate lock for the No. 2 role.

Practicing Wednesday Evans (hamstring) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact The Titans designated Evans for return from injured reserve Monday, giving him a 21-day window to be evaluated at practice. He can be officially moved to the active roster at any point in that span. Both Jeremy McNichols and D'Onta Foreman have been solid as depth options behind Derrick Henry in recent weeks, so Evans could face competition for touches once he's back on the field.

Prepping to return from IR Evans (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday.

Impact Evans will return to practice this week, and if everything goes well, he could be ready for this Sunday's clash against the Ravens. He officially has 21 days to be evaluated before the team needs to move him to the active roster. It's unclear what his role will be upon return because Jeremy McNichols has been a solid change-of-pace back behind Derrick Henry of late.

Placed on IR Evans (hamstring) has been placed on IR, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Evans, who was forced out of Tuesday's game against the Bills, thus will be forced to miss at least three games with his hamstring injury. In Evans' upcoming absence, Jeremy McNichols is in line to handle change-of-pace work behind top back Derrick Henry.

Listed as DNP on practice estimate Evans (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, John Glennon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Evans injured his hamstring in the first half of Tuesday's win over the Bills and was unable to return, so it's not surprising that he would be sidelined if the Titans held a practice Wednesday. Jeremy McNichols, who stepped into the change-of-pace role following Evans' departure, was also listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's report with a rib injury. If Evans is forced to miss this Sunday's matchup against the Texans, McNichols -- if healthy -- will operate as the No. 2 back behind Derrick Henry. D'Onta Foreman is also on the practice squad and could be elevated to add depth if neither Evans nor McNichols is fit to play.

Exits with hamstring injury Evans was forced out of Tuesday's game versus the Bills with a hamstring injury, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.

Impact Evans recorded 12 yards on two carries before exiting the game, showing impressive burst as a change-of-pace back. He was spotted on a stationary bike before halftime, so he may try to return in the third quarter. Jeremy McNichols is expected to see an uptick in usage behind Derrick Henry if Evans doesn't return.

Three touches in debut Evans recorded three carries for nine yards Week 3 against Minnesota.

Impact Evans made his NFL debut and split duties as the team's backup running back with Jeremy McNichols. He had gains of four, two and three yards, making no notable impact on the game. However, the fact that he quickly earned a role in the Titans offense is encouraging for his potential in the event that Derrick Henry is sidelined at any point.

Finally healthy Evans (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Evans missed Tennessee's first two games, but he's poised to finally make his NFL debut Sunday against the Vikings. The rookie third-rounder should serve in a change-of-pace role behind workhorse running back Derrick Henry.

Debut postponed again Evans (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Evans will miss the second straight contest of his rookie campaign. The backup running back was a full participant in practice to begin the week, but he was limited Thursday and has now been ruled out for game-time action entirely, so he may have suffered an injury setback. Jeremy McNichols will continue to handle No. 2 duties behind Derrick Henry as long as Evans remains sidelined.

Regresses to limited participation Evans (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Impact The limited workout amounts to a downgrade in activity for Evans, who was listed as a full participant in the Titans' first session of the week Wednesday. At this point, it's unclear if Evans' limitations were simply precautionary, or indicative of a setback suffered during the session. The Titans will decide whether or not Evans will carry a designation into the Week 2 game against the Jaguars based on what he's able to do in Friday's practice. If cleared to play this weekend, Evans would replace Jeremy McNichols as the No. 2 option behind top back Derrick Henry. According to Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site, coach Mike Vrabel said he expects Evans to have a role in the game plan if active Sunday, with most of the rookie's reps likely to come on passing downs.

Full-go at practice Evans (hamstring) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.

Impact Evans sat out of the season opener due to this injury, but the rookie third-round pick will make his NFL debut Week 2 against the Jaguars if he can avoid a setback. He doesn't have much fantasy upside as long as Derrick Henry stays healthy, as Henry was the only Titans RB to record a carry Week 1, finishing with 31 for 116 yards.
