Receiver Mike Evans Is Ruled Out for the 49ers with a Rib Injury

  • On Sunday, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans was ruled out of the game against the Arizona Cardinals after suffering a rib injury in the second quarter.
  • After a hit from Cardinals safety Budda Baker, Evans was carted to the locker room; the 33-year-old had caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from Brock Purdy earlier in the drive.
  • Evans, who signed a three-year deal this offseason, recorded 3 receptions for 34 yards at the time of injury and has totaled 12 catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns this season.
  • The injury further strains San Francisco's receiver core, already missing Ricky Pearsall, DeMarcus Robinson, Christian Kirk, and De'Zhaun Stribling on injured reserve.
  • ESPN's Nick Wagoner reported Evans will not return, while Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer noted the receiver appeared to be in "a lot of pain" after the hit.
