Mike Evans News
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.

Parker Washington News
Sunday, August 23, 5:40 AM
After missing time over the past week, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (undisclosed) was spotted back at practice on Sunday. While the nature of Washington's injury was never disclosed, it was never treated as a long-term concern, and the fourth-year pro will look to pick up where he left off. With one of the deeper receiver rooms in the league, the hierarchy of Jacksonville's pass-catchers was one of the hotter debates heading into training camp, but by most accounts, Washington has established himself as a favorite target of quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The two developed a chemistry late in 2025 that allowed Washington to finish as the fantasy WR12 over the final nine weeks of the regular season, while Lawrence garnered MVP consideration. Currently being selected as the consensus WR31, the former sixth-round pick could prove to be one of the best values in 2026 drafts.
