San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans remains sidelined with a quad strain sustained earlier this week. He is not the only concern for the 49ers, as Ricky Pearsall is out for the season with a PCL injury, while George Kittle recovers from a torn Achilles. Christian Kirk and rookie De'Zhaun Stribling are also absent due to calf and hamstring injuries, respectively. With an emphasis on cautious management of soft-tissue injuries, the team is not expected to rush any of these players back into practice. Evans and the others are missing crucial time to develop chemistry with quarterback Brock Purdy as the training camp progresses.
