San Francisco agreed to a three-year, $60.4 million deal with longtime Buccaneers WR Mike Evans, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Evans spent his entire 12-year career in Tampa Bay after being selected seventh overall in the 2014 NFL Draft, leaving as the franchise’s all-time leader in receptions (866), receiving yards (13,052), and TDs (108).

49ers TE George Kittle revealed recently that the location of his Achilles injury could have him back on the field sooner than expected. He had a clean tear higher up on the Achilles. "They didn't have to drill into my heel," Kittle explained. "And where the repair was is where there's more blood flow. And so, it takes some time off the recovery time."

WR Mike Evans plans to play in 2026. That's what ESPN's Kimberley A. Martin reports hearing from the player's agents. Evans has spent his entire 12-year career with the Buccaneers but is set to hit free agency in March. He'll turn 33 in August.

ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports that 49ers DL Keion White got shot in the ankle in downtown San Francisco early Monday morning. "According to the team, White is in surgery now," Wagoner posted on X at 7:48 p.m. ET.

WR Mike Evans’ contract expired, and doubt remains about his returning to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tony Pauline of Essentially Sports quoted sources who said it is less than 50-50 that Evans will return to the Buccaneers. ESPN’s Jenna Laine reported today that Evans won’t start thinking about a decision until after the Super Bowl. Despite turning 33 before the start of next season, Evans should have a strong market if he does decide to test free agency.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) is active for tonight's game vs. the Seahawks. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, so it's safe to assume he's nowhere near 100%. But Pearsall could still play a big role on a Niners offense missing TE George Kittle.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's Divisional Round game vs. the Seahawks after a limited week of practice. Pearsall was optimistic about his availability for this one earlier in the week, so we're tentatively projecting him to play. We'll look for further updates on Pearsall's status and get San Francisco's inactives around 6:30 pm ET on Saturday.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) is "optimistic" that he'll play vs. the Seahawks on Saturday night. He's been limited in the first two practices of the week, but the ankle issue that had been on the injury report recently is gone. Pearsall has been banged up basically all season, but he's tallied 85+ yards in four of his nine games, including each of his last two. It's unclear exactly how healthy Pearsall will be for this Divisional Round game, but the 49ers could certainly use him with TE George Kittle out.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) got in a limited practice on Tuesday. It's an upgrade over last week, when he missed all three practices. With TE George Kittle out, the Niners could certainly use Pearsall in Saturday night's game vs. the Seahawks. We'll keep you updated on his status for that one.

49ers TE George Kittle tore his right Achilles in Sunday's Wild Card win over the Eagles, HC Kyle Shanahan confirmed afterward. That ends Kittle's season and threatens his availability for the start of the 2026 campaign, which kicks off in about eight months. Kittle won't be helped by the fact that he's 32 with a lengthy injury history. It's possible that we never see a dominant version of Kittle again. We'll keep you updated on his rehab progress this offseason. Jake Tonges will step in as San Francisco's lead TE for the rest of this playoff run -- and potentially early next season. He's averaged 6.7 targets, 4.8 catches, 45 yards, and 0.5 TDs across six games without Kittle this season.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) is inactive for today's Wild Card game vs. the Eagles. No surprise after he missed practice all week. Pearsall's absence leaves Demarcus Robinson and Kendrick Bourne as San Francisco's No. 2 and 3 WRs behind Jauan Jennings.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Eagles. He didn't practice all week. HC Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Pearsall has "a chance" to play in this one, but it seems unlikely. We'll look for further updates on Pearsall's status and get San Francisco's inactives around 3 pm ET tomorrow.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Kyle Shanahan said earlier this week that Pearsall aggravated his PCL injury ahead of the regular-season finale vs. the Seahawks. We're currently projecting him to miss Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Eagles, but we'll keep you updated on his status.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that a re-aggravated PCL injury kept WR Ricky Pearsall from playing vs. the Seahawks in Week 18. Pearsall missed six games in the middle of the season with the knee injury, returned for four games, but then missed two of the final three. He's seemingly uncertain for Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Eagles. We'll keep you updated on Pearsall's status throughout the week.

49ers QB Brock Purdy suffered a stinger at the end of Saturday's night's loss to the Seahawks, HC Kyle Shanahan said afterward. Purdy "checked out alright" and could have returned to the game, Shanahan added. It sounds like Purdy will be fine for the playoff opener, but we'll keep tabs on his status this coming week.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Seahawks. It's a surprise after he played last week and got in three limited practices this week. Pearsall's absence leaves Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson as San Francisco's No. 2 and 3 WRs -- and should mean more targets for RB Christian McCaffrey, TE George Kittle, and WR Jauan Jennings.

49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) is active for tonight's game vs. the Seahawks. He was limited in practice all week and very likely won't be at 100% for this one. But Kittle still sits safely at No. 2 in the Week 18 TE rankings.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's game vs. the Seahawks. He caught five balls for 85 yards on an 81% snap rate last Sunday night and then put in three limited practices this week. We're fully expecting Pearsall to play this weekend but will get San Francisco's inactives around 6:30 pm ET on Saturday.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (back) is not listed on the final injury report for Saturday night’s game vs. the Seahawks. He took Tuesday off but put in a limited practice on Wednesday and was a full participant on Thursday. CMC will be ready for his usual workhorse role with the NFC West title on the line.

49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday night’s game vs. the Seahawks after a limited week of practice. He’s not back to 100%, but Kittle said Wednesday that he “absolutely” expects to play for the division title. We believe him – and have Kittle projected for a strong outing. Check back around 6:30 pm ET on Saturday for San Francisco’s inactives.
