Mike Evans News
Monday, November 9, 3:15 PM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (Achilles, ribs) is unlikely to practice on Wednesday, head coach Kyle Shanahan told Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Evans has missed the last two games with Achilles soreness and several broken ribs, and he is trending towards missing a third straight contest in Week 10 on the road against the Dallas Cowboys. The 49ers got by with another win in Week 9 on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders without Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring), and their top priority is to have Evans healthy and in top form for the end of the season and the start of the playoffs in January. The 33-year-old Hall of Famer has been reliable for fantasy managers in his six games played so far in 2026, but more patience will probably be required before we see him on the field again. Evans has 27 receptions for 420 yards and three touchdowns. If he does not play this Sunday against Dallas, his next chance to return will be for a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11. The NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported on Sunday that Evans is "questionable at best" to play this weekend against the Cowboys.

Deebo Samuel Sr. News
Monday, November 9, 3:27 PM
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that the hope is to have wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) at practice on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner. Samuel has not played since the Week 5 win over the division-rival Seattle Seahawks due to a hamstring injury, but if he returns to practice this week, he should have a good opportunity to return on Sunday in a Week 10 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Meanwhile, fellow veteran receiver Mike Evans (Achilles, ribs) does not look ready to return to the field and is trending towards missing a third straight game with multiple injuries. If the 30-year-old Samuel returns and Evans is out again against Dallas, Samuel could return with a bang against a shaky Cowboys secondary. Samuel does not have the kind of upside he had earlier in his career, but San Francisco's banged-up WR corps in 2026 has provided him with additional opportunities. In five games played in his eighth year in the league, Samuel has 16 receptions on 20 targets for 206 yards and three touchdowns and has added nine carries for 78 yards on the ground. We will keep a close eye on the Week 10 statuses of both Samuel and Evans later this week.
