Niners Nation on Mike Evans

Evans' Achilles tendinitis likely short-term; status for Week 6 uncertain but not structural.

Evans suffered an Achilles injury during the Week 5 game against Washington that had been bothering him all week; Shanahan said the Achilles is intact and doesn't require further testing, indicating it's Achilles tendinitis rather than a structural tear. Shanahan stated "we don't think it's a long-term thing" and expressed hope Evans could play Week 6, though the injury cost him two quarters in the game. Evans had told Shanahan pre-game he felt confident about playing, but the flare-up was a close call for game availability.
