Overview
- Evans left the 49ers' 35-13 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday with a hip injury and did not return to that game.
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Evans' hip is not believed to be serious and the receiver did not practice on Wednesday as the team limits his reps.
- Demarcus Robinson suffered a high-ankle sprain in the same game and faces an injured-reserve stint, further reducing the 49ers' healthy receiving options.
- San Francisco made roster moves Wednesday to cover short-term needs, placing defensive tackle C.J. West on injured reserve, promoting Naquan Jones to the active roster and signing Brandin Cooks to the practice squad.
- Rookie Romello Height had surgery on a broken hand and is an outside chance for Sunday, and the club's conservative load-management of veteran receivers leaves Brock Purdy likely to rely more on remaining targets and practice-squad additions if Evans or Robinson are limited.
