Excerpt from the link above:

Drafted in 2017, Evans had a fantastic rookie season. He started 11 games for the Bucs, registering 6 pass deflections, 3 interceptions, and 66 total tackles [2 TFL].

Even more notable than his stats, Evans looked the part. He was long, athletic and rangy. He was a cerebral player. Highly aggressive, but rarely out of control. An impressive young safety with tantalizing upside. Someone Bucs fans had the right to be excited about.
Unfortunately for Evans [and the Bucs], his second season was cut short due to a foot injury in week 15. He was placed on the IR, and due to recurring foot injuries, he was never able to work his way back to full health.

It's apparently a health issue.
