Mike Evans

After previously being deemed questionable to return, Evans has now been officially ruled out for the remainder of the contest after he didn't even come out of the locker room with the team for the start of the third quarter. Prior to departing with the right Achilles injury, Evans caught three of five targets for 94 yards. At the end of a 16-yard grab in the second quarter, Evans sat on the ground and grabbed at his right Achilles, the one he's been battling soreness in for the past week and caused him to miss practice leading up to Monday night. Jordan Watkins and Brandin Cooks will be tasked with leading this injury-depleted San Francisco wideout room.

Injury / practice

Evans limped to the locker room late in the second quarter and was grabbing at his right Achilles. He missed practice all week leading up to Monday night's game with Achilles soreness and a ribs injury, and it was apparent during the game that he wasn't close to 100 percent health. He still managed to catch three passes for 94 yards on five targets before heading to the locker room. It would be a shock if Evans returns against Washington, considering the 20-3 halftime lead and Evans' importance for the Niners moving forward this season. Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and Malik Turner could close this one out at wideout against Washington.

With Evans already having entered Monday's game managing ribs and Achilles issues, his exit is notable considering he didn't look anywhere close to 100 percent with the ball in his hands Monday. Late in the second quarter, Evans made a tumbling 16-yard grab in the red zone and immediately grabbed at his ailing Achilles. He got up and gingerly walked straight to the locker room with the training staff. If Evans is unable to return, Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and Malik Turner will be the remaining healthy wideouts for San Francisco.

The San Francisco 49ers released veteran offensive lineman Brett Toth from injured reserve as part of an injury settlement, per Matt Maiocco. That should tell us the team was not expecting Toth to return this season, while acknowledging they may play another player on the injured reserve. As for the inactive list,…

Evans has been playing through strained ribs the last two games, but he wasn't able to practice during Week 6 prep due to what head coach Kyle Shanahan has termed Achilles soreness. Instead, Evans got some occasional work on the side in advance of this contest, but the lack of on-field work won't impact his ability to suit up Monday. Evans will continue to lead a 49ers receiving corps that also includes healthy members Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins and Malik Turner.

Evans had already been playing through fractured and strained ribs since the 49ers' Week 3 win over the Cardinals, and he's now nursing an Achilles issue coming out of the team's Week 5 victory over the Seahawks. The two injuries kept him from practicing throughout the week, with the veteran wideout instead being limited to individual conditioning off to the side during those sessions. The 49ers saw enough from Evans to keep the door open for him to play Monday, but his status looks like it could come down to how he looks during a pregame workout. San Francisco will make a call on Evans' status one way or the other when the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:15 p. m. ET kickoff.
