Quick Summary

In Monday night's NFL game between the 49ers and the Commanders, San Francisco wide receiver Mike Evans left the field after sustaining a non-contact injury to his Achilles during the first half. With three receptions for 94 yards before leaving, including a 54-yard grab early in the game, Evans is now questionable to return as he was already dealing with rib and Achilles injuries throughout the week. The 49ers are leading the Commanders 20-3 in the third quarter, but their wide receiver position remains injury-ridden this season.

Story summary

During the final minute of the first half in Monday night’s game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Washington Commanders, wide receiver Mike Evans limped off the field into the San Francisco locker room due to a non-contact injury. After catching a 16-yard pass from quarterback Brock Purdy, Evans was seen grabbing at his Achilles tendon while moving gingerly on it. He did not return for the second half and was ruled out for the game.

Coming into the game, Evans had been questionable because of an existing rib and Achilles injury that kept him from practicing all week. In the first half before getting hurt, he had three receptions for 94 yards, including a 54-yard catch. The San Francisco 49ers are already facing significant receiver shortages with players like Deebo Samuel and Christian Kirk out due to injuries.

With Evans now sidelined, the team hopes his injury is not long-term but has yet to confirm its severity.
