San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided injury updates on wide receivers Mike Evans and Demarcus Robinson.<\/p>\n
Evans left Week 2 with a hip injury. Despite leaving, Evans stayed on the sideline with his helmet. That\u2019s usually a sign that a player can return. Shanahan said if the game were different, Evans could have returned.<\/p>\n
As for Robinson, Shanahan said his injury looked like a high-ankle sprain, \u201cso, unfortunate there.\u201d According to the reporters on hand, Robinson walked out of the locker room with a slight limp, but he did not have any protective devices on his ankle\/foot.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what Shanahan said about whether the team would need to add another wide receiver: \u201cWe\u2019ll see. It has been unfortunate. It was big losing Stribling last week. You guys know how big it was losing Ricky over the summer. Then losing D-Rob today was huge. Christian Kirk\u2019s got a couple of weeks before he can come back.<\/p>\n
But we still have a group of guys out there that we have played with that have done things. I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll have to add somebody, whether it\u2019s to the practice squad or to the roster, but those are things we\u2019ll start discussing tonight, and hopefully have an answer by Wednesday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shanahan smirked and said, \u201cNo,\u201d when asked if Brandon Aiyuk could be an option.<\/p>\n
Rookie defensive tackle James Thompson Jr. has an ankle injury. Shanahan said it looks like a similar injury to Robinson\u2019s. He couldn\u2019t confirm it, but believes the Niners may have lost another player for multiple weeks to a high-ankle sprain.<\/p>\n
He also said the 49ers had contacted Leonard Floyd and \u201ca couple of people\u201d as soon as they lost Sam Okuayinonu.<\/p>\n
We can expect the 49ers to work out multiple players in the coming days, and potentially add one or two to the practice squad or active roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided injury updates on wide receivers Mike Evans and Demarcus Robinson.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":470414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,3322,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-470413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-49ers-injuries","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=470413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/470414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
