San Francisco 49ers Receiver Mike Evans Exits Game With Rib Injury
Anonymous
San Francisco 49ers receiver Mike Evans was ruled out against the Arizona Cardinals after suffering a rib injury in the second quarter; he was helped off the field and taken to the locker room on a cart. Before exiting, he had three catches for 34 yards, including a touchdown and a role in an 80-yard hook-and-ladder score. Cornerback Deommodore Lenoir also left for concussion evaluation, while the 49ers led 17-6 in the third quarter. Evans had been questionable after missing two practices, and the injury adds to his recent history of missed time.
Key Points

The injury occurred on a third-and-10 from San Francisco’s 47-yard line, on a Brock Purdy pass intended for Evans that was nearly intercepted; Evans remained on the ground for about a minute before getting up.

A report described Evans as struggling to catch his breath and holding the right side of his ribs; it said medical staff had him sit under a shade covering rather than take him into the standard medical tent.
3
Evans was the fourth 49ers player carted to the locker room that season, according to the report.
