San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Evans (hip) will "have to be managed this week" leading up to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Following Sunday's 35-13 win over the Dolphins, Shanahan said that Evans -- who exited in the fourth quarter -- likely would have been able to return if the game had been more competitive. The coach's comments a day later imply a bit more uncertainty about Evans' health, but the expectation remains that the veteran wideout will be ready to go for next Sunday's game against the Cardinals. However, it wouldn't be surprising if Evans had his practice reps capped to some degree as the 49ers look to ensure that he's in optimal health heading into the weekend.
