Bengals' Chris Evans Out for Season After Knee Injury in Practice

The running back's torn patellar tendon sidelines him during a crucial year for Cincinnati's backfield.

Chris Evans suffered a torn patellar tendon during a joint practice with the Chicago Bears.
Evans, entering his fourth season, had a chance to step up after Joe Mixon's trade to Houston.
The injury leaves the Bengals with Zack Moss, Chase Brown, and Trayveon Williams at running back.
Evans has struggled with injuries previously, including a hamstring and PCL injury.
His absence impacts the Bengals' depth as they navigate the 2024 season without their former main rusher.
