Evans logged 65 total tackles, seven passes defended and three forced fumbles in 15 games during the 2023 regular season. The 2022 fourth-round pick out of Missouri saw a major uptick in work from his rookie year, starting all 15 of the games he appeared in for Minnesota and playing almost 700 more snaps than in 2022. Evans definitely struggled at times, even getting benched during a Week 16 loss to the Lions, but the 24-year-old was still productive. It's uncertain what role Evans will play on the Vikings' defense next season, as the team is likely to make bolstering its secondary a top offseason priority.... See More ... See Less

Vikings' Akayleb Evans: Gets first interception of career
Evans recorded four tackles (three solo) and an interception in Saturday's 27-24 overtime loss at Cincinnati. Evans came up with the first pick of his young career in the middle of the third quarter in Week 15 on a badly underthrown ball by Jake Browning intended for Irv Smith. However, Evans has been far from reliable in coverage this season, and Minnesota's defense has a tough test on tap in Week 16 versus the Lions.... See More ... See Less -
Vikings' Akayleb Evans: Returns to practice Wednesday
Evans (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session. Evans sustained a calf injury in Week 10 against the Saints. He missed the next two games but looks to be on track to play Sunday against the Raiders, thanks to the Vikings' Week 13 bye week. Through 10 games, Evans has recorded 49 tackles (36 solo), five pass deflections and three forced fumbles.... See More ... See Less -
Vikings' Akayleb Evans: Won't play on Monday Night Football
Evans (calf) is inactive for Monday's Week 12 clash with Chicago. Evans will miss his second straight game due to a calf injury he suffered in a Week 10 win over New Orleans. The second-year cornerback followed a pair of limited practice sessions to begin the week with a full session Saturday, so he appears to be closing in on a return. With the Vikings on bye next week, it's likely that Evans will be able to play in their next game, which will take place in Las Vegas on Dec. 10.... See More ... See Less -
Vikings' Akayleb Evans: Limited practice Wednesday
Evans (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Evans was able to overcome an oblique injury to play in Sunday's game against the Patriots and finished the game with four solo tackles while playing all but one defensive snap. Evans had also dealt with a knee injury that limited him in practices earlier in the season. Barring any setback, he should be good to go for Week 9 against the Falcons.... See More ... See Less -
Vikings' Akayleb Evans: Good to go
Evans (oblique) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against the Vikings. After a week of limited practice sessions, Evans' health is close enough to par for him to suit up. Barring any setbacks, he should take on his usual role at cornerback opposite Byron Murphy.... See More ... See Less -
Vikings' Akayleb Evans: Has 11 tackles in loss
Evans had 11 total tackles in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. Evans started at cornerback opposite Byron Murphy and played on 60 of the defense's 66 snaps.

Vikings' Akayleb Evans: Five tackles in season opener
Evans started at cornerback opposite Byron Murphy and had five total tackles and two passes defensed in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay. Evans played on 62 of the defense's 68 snaps.

Vikings' Akayleb Evans: Back for OTAs
Evans (concussion) was able to participate in the Vikings' recent OTAs, Matthew Coller of Sports Illustrated reports. The 2022 fourth-round pick suffered a concussion during a Week 13 win against the Jets, landing him on injured reserve for the rest of his rookie campaign. He's since had the offseason to move past the issue and has been taking first-team reps at cornerback alongside Byron Murphy and Andrew Booth. Expect the Missouri product to continue competing for a starting position on the Vikings defense ahead of his second NFL season.... See More ... See Less -
Vikings' Akayleb Evans: Won't play against Detroit
Evans has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions due to a concussion, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Evans exited Sunday's win over the Jets and has been diagnosed with a concussion. He'll be forced to miss at least one game, and he'll need to clear several steps as part of the league's concussion protocol before he's able to return to practice. Duke Shelley and Kris Boyd are candidates to see increased roles in Minnesota's secondary while Evans is sidelined.... See More ... See Less -
Vikings' Akayleb Evans: Forced out Sunday
Evans was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bills with a concussion. Evans logged six tackles before sustaining a concussion at some point during Sunday's contest. The 23-year-old was expected to take on a starting role against Buffalo, as starting cornerback Cameron Dantzler (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. With Evans out, second-round rookie Andrew Booth has stepped in to make his defensive debut for Minnesota, according to Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.... See More ... See Less -
Vikings' Akayleb Evans: Limited Wednesday
Evans (concussion) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Evans is working his way through the concussion protocol, and it looks like he could have a chance of gaining clearance in time to suit up Week 6 at Miami. The rookie cornerback has mostly contributed on special teams this season.... See More ... See Less
