Its Thursday, but not we’re getting an Achilles and not participating for Mike Evans There’s only so much bubble gum, band-aids, and super glue can do Hoping he plays and stays healthy ROSPositiveInjuryOct 5, 2026

Mike Evans likely to play (and likely to see Patrick Surtain shadowing him)PositiveNewsOct 2, 2026
Cam seems to feel like Mike Evans will play - something to watch He will undoubtedly get the Patrick Surtain shadowNegativeNewsSep 27, 2026
Mike Evans was carted off with a rib injury We read pregame that Jordan Watkins is expected to play more Think he will be a nice waiver addPositiveNewsSep 25, 2026
Seems like Mike Evans is going to playPositiveNewsSep 3, 2026
The anticipated WR roles for the 49ers: Mike Evans = X Deebo Samuel = Z De'Zhaun Stribling = F Stribling is backup X (if Evans is hurt, he'll probably play there a lot) Deebo will get some RB reps too, so we may see Watkins a bit via @mattbarrowsPositiveNewsSep 3, 2026
George Kittle, Mike Evans, and Nick Bosa sound like they are trending towards playing in WK1PositiveDepth ChartAug 12, 2026
Buccaneers unofficial depth chart: X = Jalen McMillan (Ted Hurst is the backup) Slot = Chris Godwin Z = Emeka Egbuka RB1 = Bucky Irving RB2 = Kenneth Gainwell Of course these are unofficial and this was largely expected, but we didnt get the OR for Gainwell (1A/1B?)PositiveNewsAug 5, 2026
Mike Evans, De’Zhaun Stribling, Christian Kirk, Kaelon Black, and Jordan James all didn’t practice again Stribling is day-to-day Still in on drafting StriblingPositiveNewsAug 3, 2026
Substration effect: Kaelon Black, Mike Evans, & De'Zhaun Stribling missing at practice I am not that worried on Strib or Evans yet Still think Black missing time is big for this RB2 battle (given that he doesn't get as much work to usurp Jordan James while he's out)PositiveNewsAug 1, 2026
A ton to absorb here: 1) De’Zhaun Stribling keeps standing out and it won’t be hard to find a spot for him - probably big slot, but can do a bit of everything (to sum it up) 2) Mike Evans got some slot work and while he probably won’t do that often I trust the offense to deploy him there when there’s a distinct plan to help him win an important situation for the team (and maybe Stribling does a clear out or something) Take: 49ers Rookie WR that’s likely to see the field and has players produc...PositiveNewsJul 27, 2026
Maybe this is crazy and maybe it is not but a thought exercise I just did bc we love comparisons JSN 2025 = DK Metcalf leaves, upgrade in OC, upgraded QB = breakout Egbuka 2026 = Mike Evans leaves, upgrade in OC (probably), upgraded to healthy Baker = ? I’ve barely taken Egbuka but am questioning myselfPositiveNewsJul 27, 2026
Lots of great 49ers updates in here and more I’ve seen sprinkled throughout various reports: 1) Ricky Pearsall practiced in full - good to hear he’s healthy 2) Mike Evans had a few nice plays - we just need to keep hearing that he’s healthy and looks like himself 3) Jordan James is clearly ahead of Kaelon Black right now 4) De’Zhaun Stribling also looked solid today from reports - could be big w/ Christian Kirk’s potential injuryPositiveNewsJul 25, 2026
Certainly very likely that Ricky Pearsall will start, but the wording here says everything other than Mike Evans spot is up for grabs at WR Something to hear more on during training camp Via @MaioccoNBCSNegativeNewsJul 19, 2026
Only sharing because I did read there is some interest in potentially bringing Deebo back to SF Think it would take some injuries because they like their current roster and might be squeezed enough at WR Mike Evans Ricky Pearsall Christian Kirk De’Zhaun Stribling Demarcus Robinson Jacob Cowing Jordan Watkins Not much room if they want to develop the young guysPositiveNewsJul 18, 2026
Really great breakdown from Pewter Report about the issues Emeka Egbuka faced in 2025: Miscast as an X WR when Evans was hurt Struggles getting jammed and playing through contact (less concerning at F/Z) Rotated WRs to keep them fresh at the end of season more Needs an X WR (McMillan or Hurst) to stay at his natural F/Z rolesPositiveNewsJul 16, 2026
This is your Bucs O upside case: Baker Mayfield got absolutely destroyed last year with 8 different injuries as early as Week 2 OL, which is good, was ravaged by injury too Egbuka suffered a hammy (so did Evans + Godwin/McMillan/Bucky had their injuries)
