Mike Evans moved from a limited practice Wednesday to no participation Thursday, although the 49ers receiver worked on the side and remained upbeat, according to beat reporter Cam Inman.
Cam Inman (@CamInman): Official injury report from 49ers confirms: Mike Evans did not practice, only ran on side, but he was upbeat and locker. I expect him to play at Seattle
Inman expects Evans to play Sunday at Seattle. That is the latest turn in a rib issue the receiver played through against the Rams: he caught five passes for 76 yards in that game, as covered in the desk's Wednesday practice report.
The 49ers' Thursday report is a step back in practice participation, but Inman's account keeps the focus on whether Evans can be available against the Seahawks rather than indicating a confirmed absence.
