The Chicago Bears poached a former player from the Miami Dolphins practice squad Sunday morning. The move came just two days after the Bears traded Chase Claypool and a 2025 seventh-round pick for a 2024 sixth-round pick.
The Bears needed to make a move at running back as they deal with several injuries in the backfield. According to Tom Pelissero with the NFL Network, Khalil Herbert is expected to miss a few weeks due to the ankle injury he sustained in Week 5 against the Washington Commanders.

Rookie Roschon Johnson is dealing with a concussion he sustained against the Commanders. Travis Homer has a hamstring. Because of the many injuries at running back, the Bears had to play fullback Khari Blasingame at the end of Thursday night’s game.

With the Bears needing depth, they added a familiar face Sunday morning. The Bears signed Darrynton Evans to the 53-man roster from the Dolphins practice squad.

Evans spent most of the 2022 season on the practice squad but was promoted to the active roster in late November.
