Bears RB Shuffle: Evans to sign with Herbert, Johnson, and Homer ailing

There’s nothing official yet, but Tom Pelissero from the NFL Network is reporting that the Chicago Bears intend to sign running back Darrynton Evans off the Miami Dolphins practice squad. The move is necessitated because the Bears suffered a slew of injuries to their tailbacks in their Thursday night win in Washington. It’s believed that Khalil Herbert has a high ankle sprain, Roschon Johnson is in concussion protocol, and Travis Homer is dealing with a hamstring injury.

CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson reports that the Bears are considering Herbert for injured reserve, but they’ll know more as the swelling subsides.
