Key Points:
- 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans exited today's game due to a rib injury sustained from a hard hit in the second quarter, requiring assistance to leave the field.
- Evans, 33, has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, missing significant time last year due to multiple injuries including a hamstring strain, concussion, and broken collarbone.
- Cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was briefly sidelined in the first half for a concussion evaluation but was cleared to return in the second half.
- Despite these setbacks, the 49ers are leading the Cardinals 17-6 in the third quarter.
