Overview
- Evans did not practice Thursday after a limited session on Wednesday, though reporters saw him doing side-field work and running at full speed during the open portion of practice.
- He played through the rib injury in the 49ers’ Week 4 win over the Denver Broncos, catching five passes for a game-high 76 yards in the 24-14 victory.
- General manager John Lynch said team medical staff expected Evans might struggle to play but quoted the receiver as insisting he would be available for Seattle.
- Multiple outlets say Evans is widely expected to play, but the 49ers have not issued a final game designation and the team’s Friday report should provide official clarity.
- Evans leads San Francisco’s receivers with 17 catches for 213 yards and two touchdowns through four games, and his uncertain status adds to short-term depth concerns with Nick Bosa still sidelined.
