Overview
- Several outlets reported Sunday that Evans planned to play despite a hip injury and a questionable designation after limited practice time.
- He was active and productive early, catching multiple passes and helping set up two scoring plays before halftime.
- In the second quarter Evans stumbled after a hit, needed significant help to reach the sideline, and was carted toward the 49ers locker room according to beat reporters.
- Evans’ removal is especially consequential because the 49ers have already lost Ricky Pearsall for the season and placed Demarcus Robinson on IR while De’Zhaun Stribling is sidelined.
- The team has not released an official medical update and further evaluation will determine how the absence could change Brock Purdy’s targets, the game plan, and fantasy lineups.
