49ers star WR Mike Evans limps off early vs. Commanders with Achilles injury

The San Francisco 49ers lost star wide receiver Mike Evans early on Monday night due to an Achilles injury.

Evans, just before halftime of their matchup with the Washington Commanders, caught a huge 16-yard pass from Brock Purdy to convert a first down and put the 49ers into scoring position. Evans had to dive to make the grab, too.

But Evans was clearly shaken up after the grab. He was slow to walk off the field, and he was spotted stretching out his leg in the tunnel at Levi’s Stadium.

Evans had been dealing with an Achilles injury, and was questionable entering the contest with both that and a rib injury.

Evans had three catches for 94 yards before he went down. The team said at halftime that Evans was questionable to return with an Achilles injury, though further specifics are not yet known.

The 49ers took a 20-3 lead into the break at halftime. Christian McCaffery scored both of their touchdowns, including a 1-yard run just a few plays after Evans left the contest.

The injury was the second significant one to impact a wide receiver on Monday night. Commanders star Terry McLaurin was carted off the field in the first quarter after his left knee buckled.

This post will be updated with more information shortly.
