49ers Take the Long View With Mike Evans’ Return

The Cowboys and 49ers meet in a competitive NFC matchup as San Francisco begins to get healthier. Deebo Samuel is off the injury report, and Keenan Allen has been brought in to bolster the receiving corps, but Mike Evans remains a question mark.

If this were the playoffs, Evans would be playing. If the decision were entirely up to him, he would play today. However, John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan appear to be taking the long-term approach.

The 49ers are in a good position and are focused on making a deep playoff run and reaching the Super Bowl. While they are not looking past any opponent, the priority is getting Evans fully healthy before he returns to the offense.
