Mike Evans Participates in "Much" of Sunday's Practice

Sunday, August 23, 5:21 PM

ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports San Francisco 49ers wideout Mike Evans (ankle) participated in much of practice on Sunday, but did not go all the way through it and stopped participating near the end. Wagoner noted that Evans was "moving fine," and connected with quarterback Brock Purdy for a big gain during practice. However, Evans and the 49ers want to be cautious to get him ready for Week 1 against division rival Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia. Evans had some tightness in his quad earlier this week and had his left foot/ankle wrapped and iced. The 33-year-old is expected to be the No. 1 receiver in the offense this year and will have a big role in the passing game, especially in the red zone. If Evans can play a full 17-game season, he will have an opportunity to lead the league in receiving touchdowns in 2026.

Robert Saleh Not Concerned About Carnell Tate's Lack of Targets

Sunday, August 23, 7:45 PM

Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh is not concerned about the lack of targets for wide receiver Carnell Tate. Tate has been held without a catch on five targets through two preseason games, which is concerning given the Titans' passing production in recent seasons. Saleh brushed off the concerns, saying, "When it's time to scheme, we'll get the guys the rock." The fourth-overall pick played on 16 of quarterback Cam Ward's 22 offensive snaps and was used across the formation. With offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's history with star receivers, including Malik Nabers and Stefon Diggs, the Titans should have no trouble scheming targets for Tate this season.
