But in the second quarter, Mayfield attempted to find Evans in the end zone on a 25-yard go route against, and Evans couldn't hang onto the pass as he grabbed his right hamstring, falling to the ground and writhing in pain after.
Evans missed two days of practice this week on the injury, which coach Todd Bowles described earlier in the week as a lingering injury versus an acute one. He was able to practice Friday in a limited capacity and carried no injury designation heading into Monday night's game, where he was honored with a message on the video board commemorating his 100th career receiving touchdown.
Through the first six weeks of the season, Evans' five touchdowns were tied for the league lead . He is the only player in NFL history to record 10 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons in his first 10 seasons in the league and was aiming to tie Jerry Rice's league-record 11 consecutive 1,000 yard seasons this year.
