San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan on Friday ruled out wide receiver Mike Evans and defensive end Nick Bosa from the team's Week 7 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons.
It's not a surprise Evans is out while he deals with Achilles tendinitis, but Shanahan used the same language about the injury for Week 7 that he did leading up to Week 6 when Evans suited up despite not practicing. After Evans left Week 6 late in the first half and with the bye week lingering it behooves the 49ers to shut the 33-year-old receiver down. This will be the first game Evans misses with the 49ers.
There was some optimism for Week 6 that Bosa would be able to return and because of that some added optimism he'd be able to go for the Falcons game. That's not the case
while he nurses a calf strain. He'll also get an additional week off before trying to return to the field for the first time since hurting his calf in practice leading up to Week 3.
Here's the full injury report from Shanahan:

- DE Nick Bosa (calf)
