What happened: Manti Te'o said the 49ers' offense has changed since Mike Evans was injured. "Ever since Mike Evans went down, … that offense doesn't look like what it used to," Te'o said, discussing what San Francisco's first loss of the season taught him. The 49ers lost 29-20 at Atlanta on Oct. 25.

Why it matters: Evans is listed Out with an Achilles injury and is expected to return after San Francisco's Week 8 bye, per David Lombardi of SF Standard. The 49ers (6-1) hold the No. 2 seed, and the loss at Atlanta is their only defeat of the season.

By the numbers: Evans caught 30 passes for 368 yards and 3 touchdowns in 8 games with Tampa Bay in 2025, per ESPN.

What to watch: The bye week gives San Francisco time before Evans' expected return in Week 9.
