Lynch was asked a follow-up about Mike Evans: 'I don't know if I'd rule that out; it's probably likely that he won't be out there Sunday. What we're really trying to do there, he's got that tendonitis that flared up. I think you learn from the history of them, right? Christian had this situation. And every player is different, every situation is different, but you don't want it to become something that really lingers.'

Evans likely out Week 9 with flared tendonitis; team managing carefully to prevent recurrence.

Mike Evans is ruled out or highly unlikely to play in Week 9 due to tendonitis that flared up. Lynch stated: "I don't know if I'd rule that out; it's probably likely that he won't be out there Sunday." Lynch emphasized the team is managing the injury carefully to prevent it from lingering, noting: "you don't want it to become something that really lingers. So we're trying to knock it out, such that when he comes back, we're giving him the best chance to stay back." Lynch referenced Christian McCaffrey's similar tendonitis history as context for cautious management.
