  "account": "Nine players from the San Francisco 49ers did not participate in Thursday's practice ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Among the absentees were star wide receiver Mike Evans, who is battling both rib and Achilles injuries. Evans has been dealing with the rib issue since Week 3, but the Achilles designation is new. Linebacker Nick Bosa and wide receiver Deebo Samuel also missed practice, with Bosa recovering from a calf injury and Samuel recovering from a hamstring injury sustained in Week 5. Defensive tackle Trent Williams was also absent, listed as a resting player. Seven players were limited during practice: Kyle Juszczyk (knee), Christian Kirk (calf), Colton McKivitz (illness), Siran Neal (neck), Upton Stout (shoulder), Mykel Williams (knee) and Carver Willis (toe). Kirk has been designated to return from injured reserve. Jacob Cowing and Romello Height, both wide receivers, were full participants. Williams, like McCaffrey, was also on the list as a resting player due to a neck injury. Dre Greenlaw, who is currently serving a one-game suspension, did not appear on the practice report.",
