The 49ers may be without veteran wide receiver Mike Evans as they prepare for their Monday Night Football matchup against the Commanders, with head coach Kyle Shanahan revealing Evans is dealing with Achilles soreness.
Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate): #49ers WR Mike Evans is dealing with Achilles soreness and won’t practice today, per HC Kyle Shanahan.
Evans, who joined the 49ers this season, has been a key target in San Francisco's passing attack. The Achilles soreness is a new concern for the 34-year-old, who had not previously appeared on the injury report with that issue this week. Thursday's practice is the final full session before the team's typical Friday walkthrough, making his status for Monday worth monitoring over the weekend.
The 49ers are already managing several injuries on both sides of the ball. They opened Christian Kirk's practice window earlier Thursday as the newly acquired receiver works toward his debut, and defensive end Dre Greenlaw had his suspension appeal denied this week, ruling him out for Monday's game. San Francisco currently sits at 3-2 on the season and is seeking a bounce-back win at home against a Commanders team that played Monday night.
