Mike Evans News
Monday, August 3, 10:24 AM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (quadriceps) did not practice Monday because of a quad strain, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. The team has not announced when the injury occurred or how long Evans is expected to be sidelined. San Francisco signed the six-time Pro Bowler to a three-year deal in March after he spent his first 12 NFL seasons with Tampa Bay. Evans was limited to eight games in 2025, finishing with 30 receptions for 368 yards and three touchdowns. Before last season, he had opened his career with 11 straight 1,000-yard campaigns. The 49ers have no reason to push the 32-year-old veteran through a soft-tissue injury early in camp, but the lack of a timetable makes his next practice status worth watching. Evans' fantasy outlook remains unchanged for now, though a longer absence would become more concerning as the preseason approaches.

Xavier Worthy News
Monday, August 3, 9:22 AM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is expected to miss only a few days after suffering a shoulder sprain during Saturday's practice. Head coach Andy Reid provided the update Monday, according to Matt Derrick, after Worthy sat out the team's first padded session of camp. The 23-year-old is coming off a difficult second season, catching 42 passes for 532 yards and one touchdown in 14 games. Worthy dislocated his right shoulder in the 2025 opener and underwent surgery in January to repair a torn labrum, so another shoulder issue is worth monitoring even with the short timetable. There is no indication that the current sprain will threaten his availability for the regular season, and Kansas City has little reason to rush him back this early in camp. Worthy's fantasy outlook remains unchanged for now, though his participation will be worth checking once the Chiefs return to practice.
