Mike Evans Remains Sidelined With Quad Strain

Wednesday, August 5, 10:23 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (quadriceps) remained out of practice Wednesday, according to Matt Maiocco. Evans also missed Monday's session with the injury, and the team has not provided a timetable for his return. The veteran caught 30 passes for 368 yards and three touchdowns across eight games with Tampa Bay last season before joining San Francisco during the offseason. Two missed practices in early August are not enough to significantly change his fantasy outlook, but the issue is worth monitoring given his injury-shortened 2025 campaign. His participation over the next several practices should provide a better indication of whether the strain could affect his preseason preparation.

Ladd McConkey News

Ladd McConkey is a Full-Go For Training Camp

Tuesday, July 28, 10:34 AM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey told ESPN's Kris Rhim he is a "full-go" for training camp, which begins tomorrow. McConkey was considered questionable for the start of training camp due to a strained hamstring he suffered during offseason workouts in the spring. The 24-year-old is coming off a disappointing sophomore season, but he is a trendy breakout candidate among fantasy analysts due to his talent being utilized by new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. McConkey also went on to say, "I feel like this is probably the most talented roster I've been on since I've been here. Now we just gotta go do it." With McConkey at full health, the Chargers are looking to finally deliver on sky-high expeactions within the organization in 2026.
