SANTA CLARA — The 49ers could head into their Week 7 matchup in Atlanta without a few key players.
Mike Evans missed his second straight practice since leaving Monday night’s game before halftime with an Achilles injury. Against all odds, the All-Pro has played in games this season while nursing injuries that caused him to miss practices, but this week might prove to be a challenge for the tough veteran wideout.
Nick Bosa remains absent from practice after it was believed he might return against the Falcons. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that he hoped the star edge rusher would return to practice on Thursday, but that didn’t happen.
If Bosa misses Friday’s practice, his return might have to wait until after the 49ers’ bye week.
In positive news, Mykel Williams participated during the early portion of practice after sitting out of Wednesday’s session. The defensive lineman was dealing with soreness after Monday’s game, which kept him officially listed as limited.
Dre Greenlaw also was returned to the field for the second straight practice. The veteran linebacker went through the early portion of individual drills with Fred Warner. The two linebackers will have their work cut out for them trying to stop star Falcons running back Bijan Robinson on Sunday.
