Wide receiver Mike Evans missed practice for the San Francisco 49ers on Monday because of a strained quadriceps in the latest injury to hit the team’s receiver room.
Evans was able to attend practice as a spectator and even caught a couple of passes on the side during a special teams drill. But his absence left the Niners extremely short-handed at receiver.
Projected starter Ricky Pearsall is already done for the season because of an injury to his posterior cruciate ligament last season that hasn’t healed and requires surgery. The team’s top draft pick, De’Zhaun Stribling, has missed the past two practices with tightness in his hamstring, and veteran Christian Kirk has been out since straining his calf in the team’s first practice this summer.
