Mike Evans, WR (SF)

Not spotted Thursday

Home  >  News

Evans (Achilles) wasn't present for the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Evans has yet to practice since aggravating his right Achilles during Monday's win against the Commanders, which forced him out just before halftime of that contest. Coach Kyle Shanahan called the injury "soreness" afterward, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, and at the same time he said he doesn't believe the wide receiver has a long-term injury. Evans doesn't need to practice in order to make himself available on game day, but Friday's injury report will reveal if he has a chance to play Sunday in Atlanta.

Nursing Achilles tendinitis, iffy for Week 8

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said after Monday's 23-17 win over the Commanders that Evans' early exit was due to right Achilles tendinitis, but he doesn't believe the wideout will require further testing or imaging, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. "I hope he recovers throughout the week, but you don't think it's a long-term thing, but right now it ended up costing him two quarters and hopefully he'll be able to play [Sunday in Atlanta]," Shanahan said.
