Schefty: Niners ‘optimistic’ Evans plays vs. WSH

Mike Evans

SF Wide Receiver #5

Player Stats

Speaking on the Pat McAfee Show, Adam Schefter said “the 49ers are optimistic” Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles) will play in Week 6 against the Commanders.

Evans did not log a practice in the days leading up to Monday night’s game against the Commanders, but the team still listed him as questionable on Saturday. Schefter reports the Niners want to see how Evans looks during pregame warmups, but it sounds like they are somewhat hopeful he will be active for Monday’s game. Evans has caught 24 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns this season and went for 7-113-1 on 10 targets in last week’s win over the Seahawks. He would be a must-start on Monday against Washington if he is active.

Mike Evans

SF Wide Receiver #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

49ers declared DE Nick Bosa, WR Mike Evans, WR Deebo Samuel, LB Luke Gifford, LB Garret Wallow, S Marques Sigle, and QB Kurtis Rourke inactive for Week 7 against the Falcons.

None of these comes as a surprise. All of Bosa, Evans, and Samuel were already ruled out earlier in the week, and Sigle has missed multiple weeks with an ankle injury. Brandin Cooks and Christian Kirk are likely to lead the 49ers’ pass catchers against the Falcons this week, and both are worth adding in deeper formats in case either emerges as a legit weapon while Evans (Achilles) and Samuel (hamstring) are sidelined.

SF Wide Receiver #5

Mike Evans (Achilles) will not play in San Francisco’s Week 7 game against the Falcons.

He didn’t practice all week and will get San Francisco’s Week 8 bye to recover. The 33-year-old’s absence will leave veterans Christian Kirk and Brandin Cooks along with youngsters Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins on the 49ers receiver depth chart for Sunday.
Mike Evans

SF Wide Receiver #5

Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles) did not practice on Thursday.

NBC Sports’ Jennifer Lee Chan reported earlier this week that Evans is expected to “miss a little time,” making his two absences unsurprising. Evans has not been formally ruled out, and he is no stranger to playing through injury, but fantasy managers should expect him to miss the 49ers’ Week 7 game against the Falcons.

Mike Evans (Achilles) did not practice Wednesday.

Evans is already expected to miss “a little time” because of his Achilles tendinitis, so this isn’t a surprise. It’s safe to assume he’s out for at least Week 7, but the good news is that it’s not expected to be a long-term issue. Evans could be back as soon as Week 9 following the 49ers’ bye week. With Deebo Samuel all but ruled out for this week’s matchup with Atlanta, Brandin Cooks and Jordan Watkins are set for starting roles on Sunday.
Deebo Samuel

SF Wide Receiver #19

Deebo Samuel (calf) did not practice Wednesday.

Neither did Mike Evans, who is dealing with Achilles tendinitis. These absences shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Evans is expected to miss Week 7 after aggravating his Achilles issue on Monday. Samuel is expected to miss “at least a couple of weeks” and has been sidelined for just one game so far. Jordan Watkins and Brandin Cooks are in line to start for the 49ers this week. What a time to be alive.

SF Wide Receiver #5

49ers beat reporter Jennifer Lee Chan reports Mike Evans’ Achilles is intact but he is expected to “miss a little time.”

Chan speculates that the window for his recovery could align with the team’s Week 8 bye week, meaning Evans would miss just one game with an aggravation of the Achilles injury that had him listed as questionable heading into Monday Night Football against the Commanders. All things considered, it’s solid news for Evans, the 49ers, and his fantasy managers. Expect a more concrete update from the team in the coming days as they limp into a Week 7 game against the Falcons down plentiful impact wide receivers.

SF Wide Receiver #5

Mike Evans (Achilles) limped to the locker room in the second quarter of Week 6 against the Commanders.

Evans came into the game with two injury designations, ribs and Achilles, ultimately suiting up. He limped to the locker room with the help of training staff and was seen in the tunnel pointing to his Achilles. The 33-year-old receiver has been on the injury report for much of the season, with the most recent ailment potentially proving to be too much to play through. Expect an update from the team after the half. Evans caught 3-of-5 targets for 94 yards prior to departing. 49ers beat reporter Jennifer Lee Chan reported after the game that Evans’ Achilles is intact but will “miss a little time.”

Mike Evans (ribs, Achilles) is active for Week 6 against the Commanders.

Evans will gut it out in Week 6 as fellow wide receiver Deebo Samuel is unable to go. Look for the bulk of the aerial offense to flow through Evans, George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey, the three of whom handily led the team in route participation a week ago following Samuel’s departure. Inactive for the 49ers are QB Kurtis Rourke, DE Nick Bosa, WR Deebo Samuel, S Marques Sigle, LB Garret Wallow, OT Enrique Cruz Jr., and DT Naquan Jones.

SF Wide Receiver #5

Mike Evans (ribs, Achilles) is questionable for Week 6 against the Commanders.

Evans was unable to practice through Friday but ultimately did enough to land a questionable tag with multiple injury designations. However likely it is that Evans continues to play through various ailments, fantasy managers could look to make alternate plans considering the timing of the 49ers’ game on Monday.

SF Wide Receiver #5

Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles) did not practice on Friday.

Even for an iron man like Evans, this is a little concerning. Frankly, we still expect Evans to play, but two missed practices due partially to Achilles “soreness” are less than ideal. The 49ers face the Commanders on Monday night. Making a backup plan is worthwhile at this time.

Seahawks ruled out Rashid Shaheed (knee) for Week 8 against the Bears.

Shaheed reportedly avoided a major injury in the collision with teammate Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the end zone in Week 7, an injury that will claim at least one game from the veteran speedster. There’s not really a ton of fantasy value behind Smith-Njigba in Seattle, although veteran Cooper Kupp could see a target or two trickle his way in Shaheed’s absence.

Zach Charbonnet (knee) is expected to be active for Week 8 against the Bears.

The team has yet to activate Charbonnet from injured reserve but removed him from the injury report Saturday, leaving only the procedural step in the way of his season debut. He likely returns to a limited role as the team manages his reps in his first game since tearing his ACL in 2025. Rookie Jadarian price is also expected to play after being removed from the injury report. He, too, will need to be activated from injured reserve.

Seahawks removed Jadarian Price (chest) from the injury report Saturday and he is expected to play in Week 8 against the Bears.

The team has yet to activate him from injured reserve, a procedural move that is expected to come before they take the field in Week 8 against the Bears on Monday Night Football. Zach Charbonnet is also expected to be activated from injured reserve, giving the team their top two backs for the first time this season. No word yet on an expected snap count for either, although Price would seem to be in line to serve as the top option in the backfield considering it will be Charbonnet’s season debut.

Broncos placed RB RJ Harvey (knee) on injured reserve.

Whoa, that escalated quickly. Harvey reportedly suffered a knee injury in practice this week that initially caused the Broncos to rule him out for Week 8, with the team then making the procedural move of placing him on injured reserve Saturday. Harvey will now miss the next four games, at minimum, as he rehabs the injury, leaving rookie Jonah Coleman and veteran J.K. Dobbins to handle primary backfield duties with Tyler Badie also on injured reserve. Coleman warrants weekly FLEX status, at minimum.

Chiefs placed CB L’Jarius Sneed (knee) on inured reserve.

That was somewhat unexpected. Sneed missed Wednesday’s practice for personal reasons and was limited Thursday and Friday. He was moved to injured reserve a day later. The Chiefs are now down their top two corners after Mansoor Delane was ruled out for Week 8, creating a much softer matchup for the Broncos on Sunday.

Howard gains clearance just in time to be charged with slowing an aggressive Pittsburgh pass rush, likely in line to handle his fair share of T.J. Watt on Sunday. There should be no reason for Howard to see a decline in snaps or performance after suffering a concussion in Week 7.
