Eagles' Justin Evans: Signs with Philadelphia
Evans signed with the Eagles on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Evans will help fill the hole left at safety after C.J. Gardner-Johnson left to sign with the Lions. The 27-year-old played in 15 games for the Saints last year, making four starts and registering a career-low 29 tackles (17 solo). The 2017 second-round pick may compete with Reed Blankenship for playing time and potentially a starting spot at free safety.

Saints' Justin Evans: Injures shoulder Saturday
Evans (shoulder) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Browns, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Evans logged two tackles before exiting at some point in the second half. With starting strong safety Marcus Maye (shoulder) already inactive Saturday, the Saints' secondary will be left extra short-handed for the time being.

Saints' Justin Evans: Gets chance in New Orleans
Evans (foot) signed a one-year contract with the Saints on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Evans sat out the entire 2021 season while recovering from foot surgery, and he hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2018. The 2017 second-round pick will look to prove he can stay healthy in New Orleans.

Justin Evans: Cut by Bucs
Evans (foot) was waived from the PUP list due to a failed physical Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The 25-year-old has been on the PUP list since late July due to foot surgery, and he won't be returning for the Buccaneers this season. It's unclear where Evans currently stands in his recovery.

Buccaneers' Justin Evans: Eyeing November return
Evans (foot) was placed on the reserve/PUP list Saturday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Evans has struggled to get healthy over the past two seasons, as his 2018 season ended with a foot injury and his 2019 campaign never started due to an Achilles injury. He's dealing with his 2018 foot injury again, however, and he'll need to wait until at least November to return to the lineup. Even when he's healthy, the 2017 second-round pick will likely be eased back into action, as it'll be his first time in a game in nearly two years. Antoine Winfield and Jordan Whitehead are expected to be the Buccaneers' starting safeties this season.

Buccaneers' Justin Evans: Lands on PUP list
The Bucs placed Evans (foot) on the PUP list Tuesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
The 2017 second-round pick has dealt with a slew of lower-body injuries since midway through the 2018 campaign, with the most recent issue requiring foot/ankle surgery at some point last November or December. The team hoped to have him back for the start of training camp, but it appears he isn't quite ready. Jordan Whitehead and rookie second-round pick Antoine Winfield are the probable starting safeties in Tampa Bay, though Evans, Mike Edwards and Andrew Adams all are capable of making it a competition.

Buccaneers' Justin Evans: Likely for PUP list
Coach Bruce Arians said Tuesday that Evans (ankle/foot) is expected to be placed on the active/PUP list, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Arians said back in February that he had optimism for Evans to be cleared by June, but it looks as though he won't be ready for training camp. If the 2017 second-round pick were to shift to the reserve/PUP list to kick off the 2020 campaign, he would be required to miss the first six weeks of the season.

Buccaneers' Justin Evans: Possible June return
Head coach Bruce Arians hopes Evans (foot) will be cleared June 1, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Evans started the 2019 season on injured reserve due to an Achilles injury, and he was shut down for the year after undergoing surgery on his other foot -- the one that hampered him in the 2018 campaign. It's been a tough stretch for Evans, but he's almost in the clear and could participate in part of the offseason program. At the very least, the 24-year-old safety should be back in action by training camp.

Buccaneers' Justin Evans: Not returning in '19
Coach Bruce Arians confirmed Friday that Evans (Achilles) will not be activated off injured reserve this season, as he requires surgery on his other foot, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Evans' status for this season has seemingly been up in the air since the summer, when he sat out the final preseason game against the Cowboys with Achilles soreness. However, it's his other foot, the one that houses the troublesome toe that caused him to finish last season on injured reserve after 10 games, that is preventing his return in 2019. The third-year pro will now set his sights on a 2020 return.

Buccaneers' Justin Evans: Undergoes surgery
Evans underwent surgery to address his Achilles injury Monday, per his official Instagram account.
Evans will be eligible to return from IR later in the season, but it's worth noting that his recovery timetable has yet to be disclosed. The third-year safety will play a key role in Tampa Bay's secondary if he's able to retake the field this season.
