Former Cincinnati Bengals running back Chris Evans is expected to participate in rookie minicamp with the Denver Broncos according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Evans appeared in 34 games over four seasons with the Bengals. He missed the entire 2024 season after suffering a torn patellar tendon in Cincinnati's joint practice with the Bears on August 15. The Bengals took the 27-year-old in the sixth round (202nd overall) in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Evans was primarily a contributor on special teams, but did run for 87 yards and finish his Bengals tenure with 19 receptions for 188 yards and three touchdowns.

The Broncos rookie minicamp is scheduled for May 9-11.

Evans worked out for the Texans last week, but didn't sign a deal with Houston.
