Evans (hamstring) remained a limited participant in practice Thursday.
Scouting Report
The tall cornerback has the size and speed to work well in zone coverage, though his footwork and short-area agility may be an issue when playing man-to-man defense. He is strong enough to disrupt receivers but must continue to make strides as a tackler. Also needs to do a better job of tracking the ball in coverage.
Long Range Potential: Talented developmental cornerback.
