The Bears on Friday claimed running back/kick returner Darrynton Evans off waivers from the Titans.

Selected by Tennessee in the third round of the 2020 draft out of Appalachian State, Evans played in five games as a rookie and one contest last season, all as a reserve, rushing for 61 yards on 16 carries and catching four passes for 38 yards and one touchdown. He also averaged 22.3 yards on 10 kickoff returns with a long of 31 yards.

The 5-11, 200-pounder has missed parts of his first two NFL seasons with injuries and spent all but one week of the 2021 campaign on injured reserve.
