USA Today • • sports
Key Points:
- San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans left the game against the Cardinals with a non-contact rib injury and was carted off the field, ending his participation for the rest of the game.
- Evans had recorded three catches for 34 yards and a touchdown before exiting at the 1:45 mark of the second quarter.
- The 49ers are facing significant challenges in their wide receiver room, already missing De'Zhaun Stribling, Ricky Pearsall, and Demarcus Robinson due to injuries.
- Remaining healthy receivers include Deebo Samuel Sr., Jordan Watkins, Jacob Cowing, and KhaDarel Hodge, with veteran Brandin Cooks recently added to the practice squad to bolster depth.
- The team was performing well against the Cardinals prior to Evans' injury, which has further strained their receiving corps.
