Won't return Sunday due to rib injury Evans left Sunday's contest against the Cardinals due to a rib injury and won't return, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact On the play before Evans made his way off the field slowly and eventually was carted to the locker room, he endured a big hit from multiple Arizona defenders. With Evans out for the rest of Week 3 and four other 49ers wide receivers on injured reserve, Deebo Samuel, Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins and KhaDarel Hodge are the healthy members at the position available to QB Brock Purdy.

Departs early Sunday Evans suffered an apparent undisclosed injury during Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Evans dealt with a hip issue during Week 3 prep but was able to suit up Sunday, only to exit in the second quarter one play after he was sandwiched between some Arizona defenders. He then left the sideline on a cart, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Prior to his departure, Evans hauled in three of six targets for 34 yards and one touchdown.

Active in Week 3 Evans (hip) is listed as active Sunday against the Cardinals, Brooke Evans of the 49ers' official site reports.

Impact Evans managed just one limited session (Friday) during Week 3 prep due to a hip injury, but there wasn't much doubt that he'd be able to play through it Sunday, which now has been confirmed. In a 49ers receiving corps that seemingly loses one player per week -- Demarcus Robinson (high ankle sprain) joined Christian Kirk (calf), De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) on IR on Saturday -- Evans is the unquestioned top wide receiver available to QB Brock Purdy, which so far has yielded a 9-103-1 line on 10 targets through two games with his new team.

Anticipates playing Sunday Evans (hip) intends to play Sunday versus the Cardinals, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Impact Evans opened Week 3 prep with back-to-back absences due to a hip injury, but his return to drills Friday as a limited participant left him questionable to suit up this weekend. Considering he doesn't require a full week of practice to be his normal self on game days, he should resume his role as the 49ers' top wide receiver Sunday, assuming he's deemed active about 90 minutes before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Questionable for Week 3 Evans (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Evans returned to drills Friday after sitting out the previous two days due to a hip injury, which has left his status up in the air ahead of Sunday's matchup. His status should receive some clarity about 90 minutes before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Practicing Friday Evans (hip) is taking part in Friday's practice, David Lombardi of the San Francisco Standard reports.

Impact The 49ers listed Evans as a non-participant on their first two Week 3 injury reports due to a hip issue, but he ran on a side field Thursday and appears poised to mix into drills to wrap up the week. Friday's injury report will reveal both his activity level and whether or not he carries a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Brock Purdy elevates his game even more to start season for the 49ers

Brock Purdy has produced at a high level ever since bursting on the scene as a seventh-round rookie in 2022 who went on a deep playoff run with the San Francisco 49ers

SEPTEMBER 25 • Associated Press

Another DNP on Thursday Evans (hip) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Harrison Rich of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact While Evans hasn't mixed into drills so far during Week 3 prep due to a hip issue, he was spotted running on a side field Thursday, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Evans is a rare player who doesn't need practice reps in order to be his normal self, or something close to it, on game days, but his status for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals could gain some clarity upon the 49ers posting its final injury report of the week Friday.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted on side field Thursday Evans (hip) was seen running on a side field at Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Evans sat out Wednesday's session due to a hip issue and appears as if he may not mix into drills one day later, but he also doesn't necessarily require practice reps to be available on game days. Thursday's injury report ultimately reveal if he was able to practice in any capacity.

Impact Evans sat out Wednesday's practice, but his absence looks to have been more of a maintenance day. The 49ers could manage Evans' reps to some extent over their final two practices of the week, but assuming he's able to take the field in some capacity within the next day or two, the six-time Pro Bowler should be good to go for Sunday. Evans should be in line for a sizable target share after an already banged-up 49ers receiver corps lost another key member (Demarcus Robinson) to a high-ankle sprain in the Week 2 win over Miami.

Injured Mike Evans is bad news for 49ers The San Francisco 49ers could face another concern at wide receiver as they prepare for their Week 3 matchup on Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 23 • THEBIGLEAD.COM

Won't practice Wednesday Evans (hip) won't practice Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Kyle Shanahan already said Monday that Evans would be carefully managed this week, so the veteran's lack of participation in practice Wednesday is not overly surprising. Evans left Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with a hip issue. Friday's injury report will give the best intel on Evans' status for the Week 3 matchup against the Cardinals. The 49ers' receiver depth is being tested early, with Demarcus Robinson (ankle) joining De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Ricky Pearsall (knee), and Christian Kirk (calf) among the injured wideouts.

NFL Offseason Predictions: Where Colin Cowherd Was Right And Wrong

Will be managed carefully in Week 3 San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Evans (hip) will "have to be managed this week" leading up to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports...

Impact After Shanahan said Sunday that Evans was fine following his fourth-quarter exit versus Miami, this update suggests the 49ers still plan to monitor the veteran wide receiver closely during Week 3 prep. His practice participation will be worth watching ahead of San Francisco's upcoming game, but the report stops short of indicating that Evans is in danger of missing it.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Coach not concerned about hip injury Head coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's 35-13 win over the Dolphins that Evans (hip) is fine, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Impact Evans and Demarcus Robinson (ankle) both exited the lopsided Week 2 win due to injuries. Evans' removal in the fourth quarter appears to have been precautionary, but his practice participation level will still bear monitoring ahead of San Francisco's Week 3 home game against the Cardinals. Prior to exiting the game, Evans caught all three of his targets for 54 yards.
