Evans (Achilles) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Raiders, 49ers GM John Lynch said on KNBR radio Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 49ers were initially optimistic that Evans would return after the team's Week 8 bye following an absence during the Week 7 loss to Atlanta, but the veteran wide receiver apparently needs more time to recover. While official confirmation on Evans' status is unlikely to come prior to game designations being released Friday, Lynch's comments coupled with Evans' inability to practice Wednesday suggest that the wideout's fantasy managers should have an alternative option in place for Week 9.

McMillan (knee) isn't expected back until after Tampa Bay's Week 10 bye, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

McMillan was initially given a return timetable of 6-to-8 weeks after aggravating a PCL sprain in his left knee in Week 3. Head coach Todd Bowles said McMillan won't have his window to return from IR opened before the Buccaneers face the Bears on Sunday, and Tampa Bay will be on bye the following week, so McMillan's next chance to play won't come until Nov. 22 at Detroit.

Whittington (back) was a limited participant at the Rams' practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Whittington was questionable to play in Week 8 versus the Chargers due to a back injury, but he was able to give it a go, failing to catch his only target while securing one tackle on special teams in the contest. The wide receiver will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's contest against the Commanders.

Meiga was cut from the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday.

The wide receiver was let go to make room for Adrian Martinez. Meiga has never appeared in a regular-season NFL game.

Shaheed (knee) did not practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Shaheed missed Monday night's loss to the Bears, which allowed Tory Horton to log a season-high 43 offensive snaps, which he turned into a 3-26-0 receiving line on six targets. Horton would again be in line for WR3 duties if Shaheed needs to sit Sunday against Arizona.

The Chiefs signed De Jesus to their practice squad Wednesday.

De Jesus joined the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in May and was subsequently waived in August, but he is now set to rejoin the team's practice squad. The 24-year-old will now look to be elevated and make his regular-season debut.

Wilson (rest/ribs) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

After Wilson continued to wear a yellow non-contact jersey at Wednesday's session, his ensuing activity level mimics what transpired last week, when he initially donned the jersey. He relayed after this past Sunday's win at Dallas that he has two broken ribs, but the addition of rest on the injury report this week indicates he's preparing to continue to play through the issue. Friday's practice report will reveal if Wilson has a designation for Sunday's game in Seattle.

Turpin (ribs) did not practice Wednesday, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Turpin has missed the past two contests with the injury, and his Week 9 prep isn't off on the right foot. Jonathan Mingo and Camden Brown handled reserve wideout duties behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens (hamstring) and Ryan Flournoy last Sunday against the Cardinals.

Remigio (hip) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

The return man has played just two offensive snaps all season. He's recorded 274 yards on 10 kick returns and 70 yards on 12 punt returns through seven games.

Proche was signed to the Cardinals' practice squad Wednesday.

Proche was cut from the Browns' practice squad in mid-October, but he has now found another opportunity in Arizona. The wide receiver played in nine regular-season contests with the Titans in 2025, reeling in six of 12 targets for 65 yards, and he'll provide the Cardinals with an additional veteran depth option with Kendrick Bourne (tibia) expected to miss the rest of the year.
