Mike Evans has been ruled OUT
Mike Evans entered with Achilles tendinitis. He may be able to return, but risking a rupture makes little sense. Even with a depleted receiving corps, I don’t expect the 49ers to put him back in.

By video, I’m concerned Terry McLaurin suffered a left patellar tendon rupture. He was carted off with an air cast. If confirmed, the injury would require surgery and end his season. A brutal loss for Washington.

Davante Adams suffered an unusual distal medial hamstring tendon avulsion. He is headed to IR, but a return this season remains possible. The likely timeline points closer to December.

Rams confirm Blake Grupe tore his ACL
After rewatching the tape, it looks like Blake Grupe hurt his knee before he took the big hit yesterday. By video, I believe he tore his ACL.

Sean McVay says Davante Adams ruptured his hamstring and will be out approximately 6-10 weeks.
I don’t guess when the video doesn’t show a clear injury mechanism. The available angle doesn’t reveal what happened to Davante Adams. We’re looking for more footage and will update when there’s enough evidence for a sound assessment.

Jalen Hurts is expected to miss the rest of 2026 after DVT and blood clots were found in both lungs. He’ll need blood thinners for at least three months. @ProFootballDoc explains the diagnosis and long-term outlook. sicscore.com/news/jalen-hurt…

Will Lamar Jackson play this week? I was confident he’d sit last week. This time, it’s much closer to a coin flip. @FezzikSports explains what the betting market is telling us.

Did Jalen Hurts really stay awake for 36 hours to keep his blood clot from worsening? That would not be standard medical advice. I explain what may have been misunderstood or misreported, and why movement doesn't mean avoiding sleep entirely.
