49ers GM John Lynch said it’s likely that Mike Evans (Achilles) will not play in Week 9 against the Raiders.

The same is true of Deebo Samuel, who has a calf injury. Evans has been dealing with the Achilles issue for a few weeks. The fact that a Week 8 bye wasn’t enough to get him back on the field suggests this will be something he deals with for potentially the rest of the year. Demarcus Robinson is expected to return from IR this week. Robinson, Christian Kirk, Jordan Watkins, and Brandin Cooks will all be in the mix for starting roles this week.
