Kyle Shanahan: Mike Evans' hip injury will have to be managed this week
Kyle Shanahan said Mike Evans' hip injury will need to be managed through the week, per ProFootballTalk. Evans is listed as questionable for San Francisco's Week 3 game against Miami.
The 49ers have a few injury concerns entering Week 3, including one to veteran receiver Mike Evans.
Sharp take
Sharp SixHold"Managed" is coach language for practice limits, not a lineup decision, and Evans is rostered in 100% of leagues for a reason. The problem is the game script: San Francisco are 12.5-point favourites in a 44.5-point total, which is the kind of blowout that gets a hip-sore veteran a fourth quarter in a baseball cap. He put up 16.9 in Week 1 and he is a top-50 asset, so he starts if you have no better option. If your WR3 spot is deep, take the healthy body instead.
