The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for another game without wide receiver Mike Evans after he remains out of practice and is considered week-to-week due to an Achilles-related issue. Multiple reports say Evans has not played since leaving the team’s Week 6 win over the Commanders, and his return is not expected imminently.
Outlets also add that Evans’ situation is being treated differently from other injured receivers. New York Post reports a contrast in how Evans and Deebo Samuel are trending, while other coverage focuses on broader receiver injury updates, including that several pass-catchers have been ruled out for an upcoming game. Reports mention that Evans is dealing with Achilles tendinitis and that the team’s weekly status picture may extend beyond one contest.
While most outlets align on Evans’ continued absence and week-to-week framing, they differ on how extensively they list other affected receivers and whether they explicitly describe Evans as ruled out for a specific week. Some pieces also emphasize the potential timeline ahead of a particular opponent, while others keep the focus on the day-to-day practice status and overall injury outlook.
