Despite official reports that three top receivers are sidelined, the San Francisco Chronicle ran a surprising note that coach John Lynch hopes to see Mike Evans return in the coming weeks. NBC Sports first announced that Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel and Christian Kirk are ruled out for the Raiders game.
The Niners Wire injury report earlier that night listed Evans among six players receiving official designations. The team’s own channel later confirmed the three wide‑receiver losses while noting defensive end Nick Bosa has returned to full practice ahead of Week 9.
With Evans, Samuel and Kirk unavailable, San Francisco must adjust its passing attack against Las Vegas. No further timeline on their recoveries was provided.
