SANTA CLARA — Defensive end Nick Bosa was not scheduled to practice Wednesday, but 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan kept the door open for his return this week.
“(He) can’t go today, but hopefully he’ll be there tomorrow,” Shanahan said of Bosa.
Bosa has been out since injuring his calf while warming up before the team’s practice on September 24. On October 9, he told NBC Sports Bay Area that he thought he would “definitely” be able to play in the Week 7 game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Receiver Mike Evans, who did not practice last week due to Achilles tendon soreness, will be evaluated throughout the week to determine his status for the team’s game on Sunday.
“We had to deal with that last week,” Shanahan said of Evans. “We’re handling that this week, so we’ll see how the rest of the year goes.”
Evans aggravated his right Achilles injury by playing 25 snaps in the 49ers’ 23-17 win over the Washington Commanders on Monday night.
He caught four passes for 94 yards and left the game after a 16-yard reception with 1:03 left in the second quarter.
Veteran wide receiver Christian Kirk enters his second week on the job after the 49ers opened his practice window. He was sidelined early in training camp with a calf injury.
The healthy receivers on the 49ers’ 53-man roster are Brandin Cooks, Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing.
Deebo Samuel remains out with a hamstring injury he suffered in the 49ers’ Week 5 win over Seattle. Demarcus Robinson and De’Zhaun Stribling are on injured reserve. Robinson could be available after the 49ers return from their Week 8 bye.
Safety Marques Sigle remains out of action due to a sprained ankle he suffered in the 49ers’ Week 4 game against Denver.
Defensive end Mykel Williams, who has played in two games since returning from a torn ACL that ended his 2025 season prematurely, was not scheduled to practice Wednesday.
Backup linebackers and key special teams players Garret Wallow (hamstring) and Luke Gifford (groin) did not practice Wednesday.
