Receiver Mike Evans Is Ruled Out for the 49ers with a Rib Injury
The six-time Pro Bowler suffered the injury after a hit to the ribs in the second quarter and had 3 receptions for 34 yards before being ruled out.
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.
