Receiver Mike Evans will miss his 2nd straight game for the 49ers with Achilles tendinitis

San Francisco 49ers receiver Mike Evans will miss his second straight game due to Achilles tendinitis. Evans did not participate in practice during the week and was ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that receivers Deebo Samuel and Christian Kirk will also be sidelined, with Kirk suffering a meniscus injury in practice.

However, there is some positive injury news for the team. Defensive end Nick Bosa, who has missed the last five games with a calf issue, is expected to return after practicing extensively over the week. Receiver Demarcus Robinson, who has been on injured reserve since missing five games with an ankle injury, is also anticipated to be activated for the upcoming game.

Other players listed as questionable include safety Marques Sigle, defensive back Upton Stout, defensive back Siran Neal, and cornerback Nate Hobbs. Evans, a 33-year-old key offensive player for the 49ers, has contributed 27 catches for 420 yards and three touchdowns this season. The offense has struggled in his absence, scoring only 23 points in the six quarters since his absence against Washington.
