Achilles tendinitis, out again for Sunday's Raiders game
Latest
Mike Evans’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He left Monday night’s home game against Washington with less than a minute remaining in the first half after a 16-yard catch and did not return.
He was carted off with the rib injury in late September; NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported a strain rather than a fracture, and Evans returned to action the following week.
Fantasy Action: Evans was ruled Out and did not play in Sunday’s Week 9 home game against the Raiders with Achilles tendinitis. Check his status before Week 10 at Dallas and keep him benched until he is cleared. With Deebo Samuel and Christian Kirk also out, lean on George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey, with Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Watkins and Brandin Cooks the wide receivers left to start.
