Evans missed Wednesday's practice while managing a right Achilles injury aggravated in Week 6 against Washington, the 49ers receiver also missed Week 7 before the team's bye and remains uncertain for Sunday against Las Vegas, with two more practices available to demonstrate improvement

After exiting Week 6 early, he will sit out of Week 7, as we expected, to give his Achilles tendonitis more time to rest

Evans is a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against Washington after missing every practice this week while managing fractured and strained ribs along with Achilles soreness, the 49ers receiver has played through the rib injury since Week 3, but the additional Achilles issue raises concerns about his availability, with a pregame evaluation expected to determine whether he can play

Evans was expected to be limited Wednesday as he continues playing through strained ribs, the 49ers receiver handled a significant role against Denver despite the injury and there is currently no indication that his availability for Sunday against Seattle is in serious doubt

Will be a game-time decision for Week 4 as he recovers from his rib injury

Evans did not practice Wednesday while dealing with a rib injury, the 49ers receiver will have two more opportunities to return to the field before his availability against Denver is determined

Evans exited Sunday’s matchup against the Cardinals with an undisclosed injury after taking a hard hit in the second quarter, the 49ers wide receiver had been managing a hip issue entering Week 3 and was eventually carted from the sideline, finishing with three catches for 34 yards and a touchdown before his departure

Questionable for Week 3 with a hip injury

Despite entering his age-33 season, Evans is expected to be healthy after a collarbone fracture ended his streak of 1,000-yard seasons in 2025. The fracture is not considered a lingering concern, but his lengthy history of recurring hamstring injuries remains the bigger durability question. While he has otherwise been dependable throughout his career, his age and soft-tissue history make his health worth monitoring as he begins his first season in San Francisco.
