Mike Evans News
Monday, October 19, 9:30 PM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (Achilles) has been dealing with Achilles tendonitis, head coach Kyle Shanahan told Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. The injury bothered Evans throughout practice this past week, and while he was active for Monday Night Football against the Commanders, he aggravated the ailment mid-game and was unable to finish the contest. The good news is the team has confirmed that Evans' Achilles is intact and he shouldn't need any additional testing. The bad news is that Shanahan wouldn't commit to Evans' status for Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons. As Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports noted on Monday night, since the 49ers have a Week 8 bye, the team could reasonably use that to buy Evans extra time for his recovery. If he returns to action in Week 9, he will have missed just one game while getting 19 days to recover. When he does get back on the field, Evans will rank as a strong fantasy WR2 while operating in a very dominant 49ers offense.

John Ross News
Tuesday, December 3, 6:33 PM
The Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday released veteran wide receiver John Ross (undisclosed) from their practice squad. Ross was active for one game with the Eagles this year and caught one of his two targets for a six-yard pickup and had been on the practice-squad injured list due to an undisclosed ailment since Oct. 21. The 29-year-old speedster will now go back on the open market and he's unlikely to sign with another team with only five weeks remaining in the 2024 season. The former ninth overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals back in 2017 out of Washington played in 10 games (one start) with the New York Giants back in 2021 and had 11 receptions on 20 targets for 224 yards and one touchdown. Ross did have seven scores in his second season in 2018 with Cincy and had a career-high 506 receiving yards the following year, but that was the extent of his production in the NFL.
