Mike Evans News
Tuesday, August 18, 11:20 AM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (foot/ankle) had his left foot and ankle wrapped and iced during Tuesday's joint practice with the Los Angeles Chargers. Evans appeared to be finished for the day after receiving treatment on the sideline, but head coach Kyle Shanahan later said the veteran was only experiencing some tightness and that he does not believe the issue is serious. That's encouraging after Evans only recently returned from a quadriceps strain suffered Aug. 1. He didn't get back into 11-on-11 work until Saturday, making it a quick turnaround between injury concerns. Evans signed a three-year deal with San Francisco in March after spending his first 12 seasons with Tampa Bay. He was limited to eight games last year, catching 30 passes for 368 yards and three touchdowns. Tuesday's early exit is still worth noting, but Shanahan's update takes some of the concern out of the situation.

Jakobi Meyers News
Friday, August 21, 7:12 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (hand) wore a brace on his right hand after jamming it in practice. Head coach Liam Coen said the veteran receiver "jammed it" at some point during the week and did not specify whether he would miss time. Meyers was traded to the Jaguars during the 2025 season and had success following the move, hauling in 42 of 61 targets for 483 yards and three touchdowns in nine games, averaging just under 10 half-PPR fantasy points per game. Despite a solid finish to last season, Meyers still finds himself in a crowded room, with Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter all expected to have roles in Coen's offense. If Meyers does end up missing time with this injury, all three receivers will have expanded roles in his absence.
