Evans may be shelved for the season

"Buffalo Bills wide receiver Lee Evans' season is in doubt after he suffered an ankle injury Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.

Evans has been ruled out for at least the next two games, coach Chan Gailey said Monday.

"I know it's going to be two [weeks] and it may even be a struggle for him to get back for the last one," Gailey said. "They [team trainers] are going to continue to give us updates on a daily basis, but it really doesn't look good right now. I hate it for him and I hate it for us."

Gailey said Evans' ankle was not broken. Asked whether it was a high ankle sprain, the coach responded, "Something like that. They [trainers] told me it was like that. To what extent, I don't know."

With just three games left in the season, injured reserve is clearly a possibility for Evans, who is second on the team this season with 37 catches for 578 yards and four touchdowns. The Bills' current depth chart at receiver features seventh-round pick Stevie Johnson, followed by undrafted free agents David Nelson, Donald Jones and Buffalo native Naaman Roosevelt.

Evans was hurt blocking downfield in the second quarter during tight end Jonathan Stupar's 35-yard reception.

Gailey said the Bills will consider making a roster move to add a fifth receiver."
