Curt Cignetti gives positive injury update for Indiana ahead of fall camp
Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti shared some positive injury news during Big Ten Media Days regarding offensive lineman Drew Evans and transfer cornerback Amariyun Knighten.
Evans was in the midst of a strong season before tearing his achilles before the Hoosiers’ matchup against Michigan last season.
Cignetti shared that the left guard has been fully cleared ahead of the start of fall camp.
Cignetti said Evans is a “full go” but will be “managed” during camp.

Evans started in nine games last season for Indiana after redshirting in 2023.
Cignetti emphasized that the offensive line needed to improve in 2025, and having Evans back will be a big boost for that unit.
