49ers Get Unexpected Update on Potential 1,000-Yard WR Trade

The San Francisco 49ers have the NFC’s best record. But they’ve gotten there with a wide receiver room that’s been held together with duct tape and bubble gum. Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) are both expected to miss Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to general manager John Lynch. Ricky Pearsall (knee) is out for the season, and second-round rookie De’Zhaun Stribling (ankle) is on injured reserve. That’s why the 49ers have been working the phones ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline.
