Evans did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, then was a limited participant in Friday’s walk-through practice. The Pro Bowl wide receiver has been nursing a hamstring injury, although it is believed to be the opposite leg than the one that caused him to miss a few games at the end of the 2019 season.
Evans is looking to rebound from a pair of uneventful outings against the Saints last season, in which he totaled just four catches for 69 yards and zero scores on 11 targets. He’s also seeking to become the first wide receiver in NFL history to post seven consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.
