49ers hold off furious Commanders’ second-half rally to go 6-0
“Though the Niners escaped with a win, the question now centers on Evans’ health. San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that Evans’ Achilles injury is the same thing (soreness) he dealt with all week. Shanahan said he didn’t think Evans would need further testing or imaging.”
49ers’ Mike Evans exits Commanders game with Achilles issue, but avoids major injury (paywall)“Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Evans avoided a serious
injury. Shanahan said Evans couldn’t continue due to what Shanahan had previously termed “Achilles soreness,” an issue that prevented Evans from practicing during the week and made him to questionable to play in Monday’s game.“
Kyle Shanahan on Mike Evans’ injury: ‘We don’t think it’s a long-term thing’“Christian Kirk is a “possibility” for Week 7 against the Falcons. “He had two good practices in. It’s just his first two practices of the year. We were down on wideouts, so it’s still something we discussed. But we decided to give it another week.”
Per Shanahan, Demarcus Robinson will not be ready this week.“

“Renardo Green wants to go fishing. As one who enjoys his time alone, one who appreciates peace, he’s looking forward to picking it up as a pastime.
But he’s not thinking of sitting on a boat with his feet up, letting idleness bring him tranquility. That’s not quite the adventure the 49ers cornerback has in mind.
He wants to get into the water. Deep water.
“In the shallows, I’ll do it (with my hands),” said Green, the San Francisco 49ers’ third-year cornerback. “But I want to go deep-sea fishing and go hop in that water and get to it. I want a spear.”
How 49ers QB Brock Purdy mastered the art of layering passes over defenders
“Equipped with an iPad and 3D glasses, he watches two squares move in, out and around. His job is to identify how and when those squares converge and diverge with his eyes moving in and out rapidly.
Purdy also does daily work with saccades, a rapid eye movement exercise in which he must follow arrows that pop up all over a screen and touch the correct one when prompted. According to Purdy, the goal of the two-to-four-minute sessions is to force him to process movement and information as fast as possible while improving his depth perception.
“All those things help me just work on my eyesight, my eyes moving, being quick with my eyes, making quick decisions,” Purdy said. “And then it records my decision-making, how fast, the percentage of getting right and wrong. I do think it helps.”
