The Panthers claimed Evans off waivers Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The third-year corner from Missouri was waived by the Vikings on Saturday after playing almost strictly on special teams (just three defensive snaps in seven games) this season, but he's already found a new home in Carolina. Evans played 832 defensive snaps across 15 regular-season games with the Vikings in 2023, recording 65 total tackles and seven passes defended, including one interception. He's now expected to serve as a depth piece in the Panthers' secondary.

Evans (hip) is inactive for Sunday Night Football against the Colts. The depth cornerback missed the Vikings' last two games with the hip issue but participated fully in practice Wednesday. Fabian Moreau and Josh Metellus are now Minnesota's only available backup corners for Sunday night's game.

Evans (hip) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Rams. Evans was unable to play against the Lions in Week 7, and he'll be sidelined for a second straight game due to a hip injury. His next chance at playing will be Week 9 against the Colts on Nov. 3. Evans has played mostly on special teams this year and has accrued two tackles (one solo) across five regular-season contests.

Evans (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams. Evans has been limited in practice this week after missing the Vikings' Week 7 loss to the Lions. The third-year pro has been pretty much limited to special teams work so far this season, so his potential absence in Week 8 wouldn't impact Minnesota's defense in any way unless further injuries occur.

Evans (hip) was listed as a limited practice participant on the Vikings' injury report Tuesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Evans was unable to play against the Lions on Sunday due to a hip injury. The 2022 fourth-round pick will have one more chance Wednesday to avoid an injury designation heading into Thursday night's game against the Rams. Evans has primarily served on special teams this year and has accrued two tackles (one solo) across five regular-season games.
