Evans was on his way to his biggest game of his NFL career with four catches for 65 yards and a touchdown from Mike Glennon, but his absence looms large for a team dealing with injuries on both sides of the ball.
The worst part of this injury is that it could be a multi-week injury that keeps the No. 7 overall pick out of the lineup for an extended period.
