49ers WR Evans' status uncertain for Commanders clash
20 Oct
Summary
- Mike Evans is questionable for Monday Night Football with rib and Achilles injuries.
- His practice status this week is uncertain, with conflicting reports on his availability.
- Evans signed a three-year, $42.4 million deal with the 49ers after 12 seasons with Tampa Bay.
The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 6 "Monday Night Football" contest against the Washington Commanders, aiming to maintain their undefeated season. However, a key offensive player, wide receiver Mike Evans, is currently listed as questionable due to rib and Achilles injuries.
Evans' availability remains a significant question mark as he did not practice throughout the week, raising concerns about his participation. Reports on whether he will play are conflicting, with some suggesting he is on track to play while others doubt his appearance.
Despite a history of playing through injuries and not missing a game this season, this marks the first time Evans has missed an entire week of practice. The 33-year-old receiver recently signed a three-year, $42.4 million contract with the 49ers, concluding a 12-season stint with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Evans has been a valuable addition, coming off his first 100-yard game of the season. The 49ers' offense will also be without Deebo Samuel Jr., who is out with a hamstring injury, and Christian Kirk, who is questionable with a calf issue.
