Kyle Shanahan has updates on 2 injured 49ers WRs after win vs Dolphins
The San Francisco 49ers are even more banged up at wide receiver after their Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins.
The San Francisco 49ers secured a victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, but the game also saw a few injuries to their receiving unit. Head coach Kyle Shanahan provided an update on the status of the affected players after the match.
Demarcus Robinson suffered a high ankle sprain, which is likely to keep him out of action for several weeks. This unfortunate injury occurred early in the game and has derailed Robinson's promising performance, where he caught three passes for 34 yards.
Jack Jones, Romello Height, and James Thompson Jr. were able to return to the game despite suffering a foot, hand, and ankle injuries respectively. However, the news wasn't as positive for quarterback Mike Evans, who was listed as questionable with a hip injury late in the game and was seen on the sideline with his helmet during the final minutes.
Shanahan expressed no major concerns about Evans' injury at the moment but acknowledged that it could change tomorrow. The coach mentioned that it could have been beneficial to keep Evans in the game, given the 35-6 score.
Shanahan has more information to share with reporters on Monday, which may shed more light on the situation of the injured 49ers. In the meantime, the team now faces a challenging situation with a thin defensive tackle group, and the loss of Robinson could significantly impact the team's performance.
