Overview
- Mike Evans was in uniform and participated in Friday practice after missing the first two sessions of the week with a hip issue, making him likely to play in Week 3.
- The team listed Evans as a non-participant on Wednesday and Thursday but coach Kyle Shanahan has called the hip injury not serious and Evans was seen doing side work and sprinting on Thursday.
- Nick Bosa was held out of practice with a new calf problem layered on a previously reported knee injury, and reporting indicates he is expected to miss multiple weeks.
- Wide receiver Demarcus Robinson, defensive tackle James Thompson Jr., and defensive end Romello Height were also absent and are expected to miss time, further thinning San Francisco’s depth at receiver and on the defensive front.
- If Evans is active he would restore a key target for Brock Purdy, and Bosa’s absence will force lineup and rotation changes up front as the 49ers manage veteran workloads and await official game-day designations.
