Evans is active Sunday against the Colts.

With Jonathan Cyprien active as well, Evans will be backing up at strong safety against a Colts' offense that will be without Andrew Luck.

Evans (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Evans was forced to leave last Sunday's game against the Patriots with an injured knee, but it looks like he will be good to go this Sunday against the Colts. He will likely fill in for injured safety Sergio Brown, who was unable to practice Friday and is listed as doubtful on the team's injury report.

Evans (knee) is questionable to return Sunday against the Patriots.

Evans was starting for Jonathan Cyprien, who is inactive today. This is a big blow to the Jaguars defense, and they'll need to shuffle personnel to cover his loss if he can't return.

Evans appears to have a firm grasp on the starting free safety job after Winston Guy was cut Monday, the Florida Times-Union reports.

The Jags parted ways with Guy after a string of poor performances to open the season, which should leave Evans as the unquestioned starter. Evans, whose foot injury opened the door for Guy to start, replaced Guy in the second half of the Indianapolis game in Week 3 and started Week 4's loss to San Diego. On the season, Evans has 26 combined tackles and one pass defended.

Evans recorded a team-high 14 tackles in Sunday's loss to the Redskins, the Florida Times-Union reports.

Filling in for regular starter Jonathan Cyprien, Evans notched eight solo tackles and contributed to six more. He also added a pass defended in the 41-10 beatdown.

Evans has fully recovered from a foot injury suffered during minicamp, Florida Today reports. The safety recorded an interception in Thursday's preseason loss to the Bears.

In competition for a starting spot, a position he held for 11 games last season, Evans made an impact Thursday, picking off a Jimmy Clausen pass that was tipped by Telvin Smith. He returned the pick eight yards and also recorded a solo tackle on the night. Evans will continue to battle Winston Guy for a primary role as the preseason wears on.

Jaguars S Josh Evans (foot) is not expected back until training camp.

The exact nature of Evans' injury is unknown. He'll fall a nose behind Winston Guy in their battle for the starting free safety gig. Jaguars coaches have been talking up both players.

Josh Evans and Winston Guy are expected to compete for the Jaguars' starting free safety job.

Evans, a sixth-round pick in last year's draft, started 11 games as a rookie, notching 58 tackles and one pass breakup. He didn't show much of a nose for the ball. Guy was claimed off waivers from Seattle prior to Week 1 and appeared in 14 games, making two starts. He has plus size at 6-foot-1 and 218 pounds. Guy is a big hitter. The Jaguars talked up Evans following the season.

Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell indicated the team is pleased with 2013 sixth-round FS Josh Evans returning as a 2014 starter.

Caldwell specifically said upgrading free safety will not be an offseason priority. Evans finished his rookie year with 58 tackles and no turnovers forced among 11 starts, grading out 78th among 86 qualifiers in Pro Football Focus' safety ratings. Fellow rookie SS Johnathan Cyprien graded 84th, but Jacksonville is betting on internal improvement for both in 2014.

Jaguars FS Josh Evans has been ruled out for Week 14.

Winston Guy will start Thursday's game against the Texans. A sixth-round rookie who's started 9-of-12 games this season, Evans is week to week. He has 12 days to heal up for Week 15.

Jaguars FS Josh Evans (shoulder) is "very questionable" for Thursday's game against the Texans.

The sixth-round rookie has started 9-of-12 games this season, grading out as a bottom-five safety in Pro Football Focus' ratings. Winston Guy will get the start if Evans can't go for Week 14.
