Mike Evans can still play.<\/p>\n

That was never a question, even with the wide receiver turning 33 in August. The only question is: Can he stay healthy?<\/p>\n

He has missed 12 games over the past two seasons for various injuries, including his first surgery last season for a broken collarbone.<\/p>\n

The 49ers are betting on Evans doing just that, having signed him to a three-year, $42.4 million deal this offseason.<\/p>\n

49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk told NFL Network that the six-time Pro Bowler looked even better than expected during offseason practices.<\/p>\n

\u201cMike has been so impressive, and I feel like that\u2019s saying so much because we were expecting so much<\/a>,\u201d Juszczyk told NFL Network, via joebucsfan.com. \u201cYour expectations are already high, and I feel like he\u2019s already exceeded that. He has been unguardable at practice. Red zone has been an absolute problem. He\u2019s a great teammate. I think everyone has already enjoyed his presence so much. I think he\u2019s going to be an incredible leader for the wide receivers room. It\u2019s hard to imagine a better addition than Mike has been.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evans continues to build a Hall of Fame-worthy resume, with 866 catches for 13,052 yards and 108 touchdowns. He had career-lows in catches (30), yards (368) and touchdowns (three) because his injury last season limited him to a career-low eight games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mike Evans can still play.
