49ers WR Injury Update: Evans Out 'Week to Week'
12 Nov
Summary
- Mike Evans is sidelined with an Achilles injury, expected to miss multiple weeks.
- The 49ers' receiving corps is depleted by multiple injuries to key players.
- Keenan Allen was acquired via trade to bolster the wide receiver position.
As of November 12, 2026, the 49ers are facing significant challenges with their wide receiver depth due to multiple injuries. Key player Mike Evans has been sidelined since Week 6 with an Achilles flare-up and is currently considered 'week to week.' He was the team's leading receiver before his injury.
The team's receiving unit has been heavily impacted, with several players, including Christian Kirk, Ricky Pearsall, and De'Zhaun Stribling, also absent. Deebo Samuel, who suffered a hamstring injury in Week 5, is trending toward a return for the upcoming game against the Cowboys. Despite these setbacks, the 49ers recently welcomed back Demarcus Robinson, who had been out with a high ankle sprain since Week 2.
To address the depleted receiver situation, the 49ers acquired Keenan Allen via trade before the NFL trade deadline. This move provides much-needed depth as the team prepares for a crucial matchup against their NFC rival, the Cowboys.
