Evans, drafted from Sandhurst and the Bendigo Pioneers, was elevated after defender Sam Skinner (knee) was placed on their long-term injury list, and the 19-year-old is now in the mix to face the Cats, according to Lions football manager Matt Francis.
"Billy has made excellent progress so far in his time at the Lions, and thoroughly deserves his elevation to the senior list," Francis said.
This is the second time Evans has been promoted to the senior list by the Lions.
Last year he was a mid-season nominated rookie and made his AFL debut in Round 19 before playing the final five games of 2015.
Evans was selected by the Lions with pick No.4 in the 2015 rookie draft.
