The San Francisco 49ers made a few big moves this offseason, with the additions of Mike Evans and Dre Greenlaw being among their bigger moves.
Osa Odighizuwa and Christian Kirk were also added, but when it comes to free agency signings, Evans and Greenlaw are the stars of the show.
However, according to Mike Sando of The Athletic, one NFL executive is predicting that both Evans and Greenlaw will get hurt in 2026, a wild prediction for someone involved in the NFL to make.
49ers get wild prediction from NFL exec on Evans, Greenlaw
"Everyone starts talking about the substation and, 'Why are we always hurt?'" one NFL executive said. "It's because you sign hurt players. Mike Evans is going to miss 4-6 games this year, Dre Greenlaw is going to miss eight, and you are going to wonder why your players are always hurt."
This is a wild prediction for an NFL executive to make. It's not a simple one, believing this free agent signing or a trade won't work out due to a scheme fit or some other reason. It's a prediction that's a whole lot worse than that.
Predicting the 49ers will deal with injuries that force Evans to miss upwards of six weeks and Greenlaw to miss eight is a wild one to make for anyone, let alone an NFL executive.

It's entirely possible the Evans and Greenlaw signings don't end up panning out. But, to predict that the 49ers will lose both to injuries for an extended period of time is a step too far.
The 49ers have dealt with injury issues the last few seasons, which has partially been responsible for the electrical substation conspiracy theories.
But, for this NFL executive to pile on and predict that two of the 49ers' biggest offseason additions will get hurt in 2026 is a wild prediction to make.
