San Francisco 49ers GM provides injury update on Mike Evans

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch provided an update on veteran wide receiver Mike Evans during the team’s bye week. Evans missed the Week 7 game against the Atlanta Falcons due to Achilles tendinitis, an issue that developed while he was already playing through a rib injury.

Lynch stated that Evans is working tirelessly on a recovery plan to manage the Achilles tendinitis. The injury had reached a point where it was inhibiting his ability to play, necessitating his absence from recent action. The team aims to quiet the inflammation to ensure he is healthy for the second half of the season.

The 49ers expect to have more clarity regarding Evans’ availability for their Week 9 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders once the team returns to practice next week.
