Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Evans won't practice Thursday due to rib and Achilles injuries, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Evans has been tending to strained ribs since a Week 3 matchup with the Cardinals, playing through it the last two contests to the tune of a 12-189-1 line on 18 targets during that stretch. Shanahan attributes Thursday's absence to not only that, but what he calls Achilles soreness, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. The mere mention of Achilles can be concerning, but in the end, the situation will be monitored to see if Evans' status for Monday's game against the Commanders is at all threatened.
Evans caught seven of 10 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-29 win over the Seahawks. He also caught a successful two-point conversion.

Evans (ribs) has said "he'll do his best to be out there" Sunday against the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Evans exited in the second quarter of last Sunday's win versus the Cardinals after taking a big hit from Arizona safety Budda Baker and wasn't able to return. Evans then managed just one limited practice Friday before being listed as questionable for Week 4 action. Head coach Kyle Shanahan told Vic Tafur of The Athletic at the end of the week that Evans was lining up to be a game-time decision, and a pregame workout ultimately may determine his availability ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
Evans (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Evans managed just one limited practice this week after exiting the 49ers' Week 3 win over the Cardinals due to an injury that's been characterized as both fractured ribs and a rib strain, but he'll attempt to play through any discomfort this Sunday. Jay Glazer of Fox Sports noted earlier Sunday that Evans will be wearing a protective covering over his ribs, and assuming his injury doesn't worsen during the contest, the wideout will be slated to play his normal allotment of snaps.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Evans (ribs) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Broncos, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Officially, Evans is listed as questionable for Week 4 after failing to practice Wednesday and Thursday, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. Evans is nursing a strained rib, and with a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff incoming Sunday, there will be fewer options to pivot to for fantasy purposes if he ends up inactive. Currently, Deebo Samuel, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins are the healthy wide receivers on the 49ers' active roster.

Evans, who signed with the 49ers as a free agent earlier this offseason, will afford head coach Kyle Shanahan the tallest No. 1 receiver he's ever had in one of his offenses, Ben Solak of ESPN.com notes.
There have been big-name statuesque wide receivers to take significant snaps in Shanahan's offenses before, such as a trio of 6-foot-3 wideouts in Julio Jones, Josh Gordon and Jauan Jennings. However, only Jennings played for Shanahan in the latter's head coaching tenure in San Francisco, and Solak notes the veteran wideout never filled a prototype tall receiver role since he played nearly half his snaps in the slot. That won't be the case with Evans, who is 6-foot-5, 231 pounds, has a wingspan north of 35 inches and is third in yards per route run over the last two seasons on the deep in-breaking routes that are staples of Shanahan's offenses.
The WRs priced immediately above and below him.
