49ers work out Brady Boyd as Mike Evans may miss Week 4

The San Francisco 49ers are working out former Jaguars wide receiver Brady Boyd as they prepare for Week 4 without Mike Evans. Coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Evans' rib injury is not expected to be long-term, but his absence will impact the offense. The team is considering elevating Brandin Cooks from the practice squad, but Boyd's athletic profile fits the need for bigger receivers. Boyd, an undrafted free agent, showcased impressive athleticism at Utah State's Pro Day, which attracted the 49ers' interest. Additionally, the Niners also evaluated defensive back Sam Webb amidst concussion protocols affecting their cornerbacks.
