Mike Evans Injury, Latest Updates on 49ers WR's Timeline to Return After Being Carted Off
Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans is listed as day-to-day after exiting in the second quarter of Sunday's 36-30 win over the Arizona Cardinals due to a rib injury.
- Evans was carted off following a big hit and was ruled out for the remainder of the game; he had recorded three catches for 34 yards and a touchdown before leaving.
- The 49ers' receiving corps is facing multiple injuries, with Demarcus Robinson and second-round pick De'Zhaun Stribling already on injured reserve, and Stribling expected to return no earlier than November.
- Despite Evans' injury, the 49ers managed to secure the victory, but ongoing injuries to key receivers threaten the team's depth and offensive consistency moving forward.
- Aside from Deebo Samuel Sr.'s All-Pro 2021 season, the 49ers lack a consistent No. 1 receiver, making the health of Evans and Stribling critical for the team's passing game.
