The substation clearly has a taste for guys with quick legs and good hands.
Evans' Achilles is intact, which is good news, but he is likely to miss at least next week's game and then gets the bye to rest after.
Kirk might be back this week but as it stands today the 49ers are currently down the following WRs:
WR1 Mike Evans (week to week)
WR2 Deebo Samuel (week to week)
WR3 Ricky Pearsall (out for season)
WR4 Demarcus Robinson (week to week)
WR5 De'Zhaun Stribling (out until at least week 12)
WR6 Christian Kirk (day to day)
There is always a silver lining. Besides Pearsall, all these guys will be back at some point this year. Doesn't mean they won't get hurt again but you can see a potentially great WR room at some point if injury luck smiles upon them. And the injuries have given them a good look at young WRs Cowing and Watkins who I expect they will move off of at some point. 1st round pick will be a WR again. Plus we finally got to see Black and CMC on the field at the same time with CMC in the slot as a WR. Fun.
6-0. Get through this week. If you pick up another win great. If not 6-1 at the bye is just fine. Need to make a trade for a WR though. Even though you are getting guys back you need to insulate that room. If you don't your Super Bowl hopes may be hanging by an Achilles thread.
Bang Bang Niner Gang!
My boy Evans
Hopefully all these players recover quickly from their injuries 🙏 so that the team's quality improves
