Evans' target decline and injury history raise snap management concerns at age 33.

Last season was the first time Evans didn't have 100 targets since entering the NFL in 2014, and also the first time he fell below 50 percent in contested situations since 2017; he played single-digit games for the first time in his career. At 33 years old and dealing with hamstring injury in 2025, quad strain in late July, and groin issues in camp, Kyle Shanahan said Evans is unlikely to practice every day of the week during the regular season, raising snap management concerns.
