No. 1 in the 30-second version

Mike Evans is likely to miss another week for the 49ers while Deebo Samuel trends toward Sunday's return.

Shanahan said Monday that he does not expect Evans, 33, at practice this week, and Evans has not played since leaving the Week 6 win over Washington. Samuel, 30, has not played or practiced since a severe hamstring strain in Week 5, but Shanahan expects him to practice Wednesday. Demarcus Robinson returned from a high ankle sprain and played against the Raiders for the first time since Week 2.

Rams set to place Puka Nacua on injured reserve after MCL, PCL and turf toe injuries.

Nacua was hurt on the Rams' final offensive play, when he was tackled after a five-yard rush on third-and-11. Coach Sean McVay said he had questioned that play call over and over and called it something the Rams must think about internally as they move forward.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Skattebo, who has a hamstring injury, was very close to playing Sunday against the Eagles but was held out because of the short week. Harbaugh also said quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who has a hip pointer, is likely to play against Washington.

Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is reportedly expected to miss a few weeks with a knee injury.

Stevenson hurt the back of his knee late in Sunday's 45-27 loss to Green Bay, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported it is a plantaris tendon issue that will not require surgery. He has been one of New England's most dependable backs, with 399 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 102 carries. With TreVeyon Henderson also sidelined indefinitely, Corey Kiner, who has 244 rushing yards this season, is set to take on the lead role.
