49ers Star Evans Out vs. Falcons
24 Oct
Summary
- Mike Evans sidelined with Achilles tendinitis, missing first 49ers game.
- Nick Bosa also ruled out due to a calf injury; return timeline uncertain.
- Several other 49ers players are also dealing with various injuries.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons due to an Achilles injury. The 33-year-old veteran has been managing a ribs injury earlier in the season. Head coach Kyle Shanahan stated that Evans has Achilles tendinitis, describing it as a flare-up that he doesn't anticipate being a long-term issue, although it will require management.
Defensive end Nick Bosa will also miss the game with a calf injury, marking his fifth consecutive absence. Shanahan expressed surprise at Bosa's earlier optimism about returning before the bye week, noting that he experienced soreness after a recent workout. The team also released defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo, possibly to make roster space for Christian Kirk, who is questionable. Several other players, including Deebo Samuel and Marques Sigle, are also sidelined or questionable for the matchup.
