San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans is week-to-week and did not participate in Wednesday's practice, the first of the week's sessions, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Evans has missed the 49ers' past two games with Achilles tendinitis and has not played since leaving the team's 23-17 win over the Washington Commanders on Oct. 19. Asked Wednesday afternoon for a timetable, head coach Kyle Shanahan interjected mid-question and said, "No. Week-to-week."
General manager John Lynch said last Thursday that the 49ers "hope" to get Evans and fellow receiver Deebo Samuel, who has been out since Week 5 with a hamstring injury, back in the coming weeks. Samuel returned to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity, called his rehab "frustrating," and said he is now "ready to go," the Chronicle reported. The team has not said whether Evans will play this week.
