Injury management unfortunately has become part of the norm for coach Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers. But Shanahan, in an interview on KNBR’s “Dirty Work,” was able to provide an optimistic update Thursday for San Francisco’s primary pass catcher Mike Evans, who missed the last two games due to Achilles tendonitis.
