Another week, another gut punch for the 49ers. Wide receiver Mike Evans was a full-on no-show at practice again on Thursday. He is battling both rib issues and, more critically, that nagging Achilles injury that just won’t quit.
Evans’ Achilles: The Recurring Nightmare
Evans’ situation is definitely the headline grabber. He’s dealing with both rib injuries and that troublesome Achilles. The big concern? He had to leave Monday night’s game at the end of the first half because he aggravated the Achilles soreness. That’s not what you want to see from a star playmaker.
Just Look at This Injury Report
It ain’t just Evans either. Mykel Williams, the defensive end, at least got back to limited work after missing Wednesday with a knee issue. That was literally the *only* positive change on their injury report. But then you look at the rest of the list, and man, it’s a marathon of rehabbers. Nick Bosa (knee/calf), Deebo Samuel (hamstring), Luke Gifford (groin), Siran Neal (knee), Marques Sigle (ankle), Upton Stougt (shoulder), and Garret Wallow (hamstring) are all still rehabbing during practice. Safey Ashtyn Davis (hamstring) and linebacker Jaden Dugger (knee) also remained limited.
With Evans not practicing and so many key guys sidelined or limited, the 49ers are definitely feeling the pinch. They need these guys healthy, and fast, if they want to stay on track. This injury list? It’s the real story right now.
