Who Should I Start? Akayleb Evans or Derion Kendrick

Saturday, November 23, 6:52 PM

Minnesota Vikings defensive back Akayleb Evans has been waived by the organization on Saturday. This seems like a bit of an odd move considering Evans was a full-time starter last season. He finished with 65 tackles, three fumbles forced, and one interception in 15 games with the Vikings in 2023. Since then, Evans has mainly been playing on special teams this season and has only two tackles in seven games. The former fourth-round pick will look to catch on elsewhere. There should be another organization willing to give the 25-year-old a chance to earn a spot on a roster.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed at training camp on Thursday that reserve cornerback Derion Kendrick (knee) suffered a torn ACL this week at practice. Kendrick will now be forced to miss the entire 2024 season after getting hurt in the first practice session this summer. The 23-year-old entered the NFL as a sixth-round pick (212th overall) by the Rams in 2022. In his first two seasons, he recorded 92 tackles (77 solo), one interception and 14 pass breakups in 32 games (18 starts). LA's secondary is a beat bit up already early in camp, as Darious Williams is also dealing with a hamstring injury early on. Tre'Davious White is also an injury risk after suffering serious injuries to his knee and Achilles the last two years.
