- Samuel is expected to practise on Wednesday.
- Jordan Watkins led San Francisco against Las Vegas.

## Summary

Mike Evans is expected to miss another week as the 7-1 San Francisco 49ers manage his recovery, while Deebo Samuel is moving towards a return. The contrasting injury updates matter as the team looks to restore its receiving options and maintain its strong position.

Evans, 33, has not played since aggravating Achilles tendinitis in the Week 6 win over Washington after playing through broken ribs. Coach Kyle Shanahan does not expect him at Wednesday’s practice but will reassess later in the week. Samuel, 30, has been out since a severe hamstring strain in Week 5 and is expected to practise Wednesday; Demarcus Robinson has also returned from a high ankle sprain. In Sunday’s 38-17 win over the Raiders, Jordan Watkins led the 49ers with four catches for 86 yards and a touchdown.
