Receiver Mike Evans will miss his third straight game for the San Francisco 49ers with Achilles tendinitis and left tackle Trent Williams is questionable after hurting his shoulder in practice this week.
It will end when he takes the field for the NFC-leading San Francisco 49ers against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday after a trade that gave the veteran receiver a mental lift.
A person familiar with the deal said Tuesday that the 49ers will send a sixth-round pick in 2027 for Allen after he passes a physical.
Aiyuk had fired agent Ryan Williams during his long-running dispute with the 49ers and was without representation until Rosenhaus said on Monday that he had been hired.
Micah Ford rushed for 150 yards, Nico Brown caught two TD passes and Caden High had nine catches for 103 yards and a score for the Cardinal. CJ Bailey threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns and Will Wilson ran for two short scores for the Wolfpack (3-4, 1-3).
San Francisco 49ers star receiver Mike Evans will miss Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons because of Achilles tendinitis.
He didn’t return to the game and his status for this week’s game against Atlanta remains in question with coach Kyle Shanahan saying he didn’t know how long the issue will impact Evans’ ability to practice or play.
San Francisco 49ers receiver Mike Evans left Monday night’s game against the Washington Commanders with an Achilles tendon injury and the team said he would not return.
Daniels was then sacked by Keion White and Ogbo Okoronkwo before he could throw up a desperation pass.
With five more pass attempts, he will take his place on top of the all-time leaderboards.
