Bengals OC Brian Callahan recently suggested Evans and Trayveon Williams will have opportunities to earn more snaps this year, WKRC's Richard Skinner reports.
What it means:
Callahan made his comments after the Bengals took RB Chase Brown in the fifth round of the 2023 Draft, mentioning that Evans has only been used as a pass-game back so far but will have chances to show improvement as a ballcarrier during the preseason. Apart from the incoming fifth-round pick, Cincinnati hasn't added any RB to help replace Samaje Perine (Broncos) through the first two months of the preseason. Granted, the team may still add a veteran at some point, especially if starter Joe Mixon's off-field issues or cap hit become a problem. Evans and Williams are sixth-round picks -- 2021 and 2019, respectively -- with fewer than 100 combined touches in the NFL, but it appears they'll open offseason practices as Nos. 2 and 3 on the depth chart in some order.
