Yahoo Sports NFL on Mike Evans

Evans downplays preseason injuries; 49ers managing veteran rest despite his offensive importance.

Evans downplayed his preseason injuries (groin and left quad), stating 'None of my injuries were significant' and that he would not have missed time in a game week. The source notes the 49ers have been cautious with Evans since training camp began, and head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Evans will receive veteran rest days and is not expected to practice three days in a row, similar to Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams. The team's caution reflects Evans' importance to the offense, with the source noting 'they'll go as far as Mike Evans takes them.'
