Head Coach Bruce Arians spoke to the media today.
According to Bruce, Mike Evans' MRI showed NO structural damage! It's a hyperextension. Little swelling. He'll be day-to-day.
On the bright side, Mike was running in the pool today. Hoping for a Thursday practice from Mike.
With Sunday's damp field being attributed to Mike's injury, do you think a wet field would stop Mike from returning? According to Bruce, "No, not really. You're gonna play on whatever field they put you on. You'd have to fight Mike. If he can go, he don't give a crap about the field."
Non-COVID injury updates: "Carlton should be up & going, Ledbetter will be very iffy, Shaq will be back. Not sure about Stevie yet."
Meanwhile it looks like Devin White won't be able to play this week.
As for Washington, "When Alex Smith plays Quarterback, they're a heck of a football team. Got a ton of respect for him playing him over the years, but what he went through and how he came back is amazing. Ton of respect for Ron Riveria, been against him in the playoffs a number of times and didn't win. They're an extremely well coached team, ton of talent on the defensive front, but Alex Smith is really the key for everything."
So with a Primetime game this week, does that mean night practices once again?
"I haven't really made up my mind this week, we'll wait and see. If we do it, we'll probably do it Wednesday just because it is a Saturday ball game. I think we're over that now, and it shouldn't be any problem."
