The 49ers still have no update when Mike Evans will return to the field, and coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Wednesday the receiver is considered “week to week.”

Since his Achilles flared up during a “Monday Night Football” game against the Commanders in Week 6, Evans has remained on the sideline.

On Monday, Shanahan was asked if Evans would be available to practice and said, “We’ll see how he is later in the week.”

Evans has played in six games this season and quickly found a strong connection with quarterback Brock Purdy.

When his injury happened, he was the team’s leading receiver with 27 catches for 420 yards and three touchdowns.

Evans is one of many injured receivers in the 49ers’ locker room. The team also has been without Christian Kirk, Ricky Pearsall, De’Zhaun Stribling and Deebo Samuel.

On Sunday, the 49ers got good news on their injury front. Demarcus Robinson returned from a high ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 2.

With the 49ers set to play the Cowboys, their longtime NFC rival, on Sunday, Samuel has been trending toward returning to the field.

Samuel’s absence started during the middle of their Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks, when he suffered a severe hamstring injury.
