Rams' Zach Evans: Stays on sidelines
Evans (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Colts, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Evans has yet to suit up this season, as the team opts to continue to role with the veteran Royce Freeman as its No. 3 running back behind Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers. The rookie running back's next chance to suit up will be in Week 5 against the Eagles.

Rams' Zach Evans: Inactive again Monday
Evans (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Monday in Cincinnati, Stu Jackson of the Ram's official site reports.
Evans, a 2023 sixth-round pick, now will kick off his career with three consecutive healthy scratches.

Evans' next chance to make his pro debut is Sunday at Indianapolis.

Rams' Zach Evans: Kept on initial roster
Evans has a spot on the Rams' initial 53-man roster, Stu Jackson of the official team website reports.
Evans is one of four running backs, joined by Cam Akers, Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers. It looks like Evans and Rivers are competing for the No. 3 job, which might mostly entail snaps on special teams to start the season. In any case, Akers remains the lead runner, and Williams seems to have locked down the second spot on the depth chart.

Rams' Zach Evans: Modest showing in preseason loss
Evans rushed seven times for 23 yards and brought in his only target for six yards in the Rams' 41-0 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night.
Evans worked in behind Ronnie Rivers and Royce Freeman, garnering his first touch in the third quarter. The rookie sixth-round pick had an unremarkable preseason that saw him net just 77 yards on 23 carries while also recording a pair of receptions for 13 yards. Whether that's enough to make the active roster remains to be seen, considering Rivers seemingly outperformed him, and Cam Akers and Kyren Williams are already locked into the top two spots on the depth chart.

Rams' Zach Evans: Garners 27 total yards Saturday
Evans rushed eight times for 20 yards and brought in his only target for seven yards during the Rams' 34-17 preseason loss to the Raiders on Saturday night.
Evans didn't log his first carry until the third quarter but finished just one rush attempt behind backfield mate Ronnie Rivers, who set the pace in that category. The rookie sixth-round pick was more productive on a per-carry basis during his pro debut against the Chargers last week, but Evans appears to have a solid shot of securing a practice squad spot at minimum with his cumulative body of work going into next Saturday night's preseason finale versus the Broncos.

Rams' Zach Evans: Spearheads ground attack Saturday
Evans rushed eight times for 34 yards in the Rams' 34-17 preseason loss to the Chargers on Saturday night.
The rookie sixth-round pick was the second running back for the Rams to log a touch behind the player that might be his primary competition for a roster spot, Ronnie Rivers. Evans finished with a team-high rushing yardage total, but he logged just three more yards than Rivers on two additional carries. Rivers is also capable of filling a returner role, so Evans will have to continue making a convincing case during next Saturday night's home preseason matchup against the Raiders.
