NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Mike Evans is considered day-to-day with a rib strain. 2026-09-28 17:00:02 The season is only three weeks old, but it already feels like Evans has dealt with a whole year’s worth of injuries. The veteran receiver dealt with quad and abductor injuries in training camp and was listed with a hip injury entering Week 3’s game against the Cardinals. Now, he’ll look to play through a rib injury that had him carted off the field in the second quarter of Sunday’s win. It sounds like Evans will have a chance to suit up in Week 4 against the Broncos, but we’ll see how things look when the team releases its first injury report on Wednesday. |

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said the team is still gathering information on WR Mike Evans’ (ribs/oblique) injuries. 2026-09-28 00:00:02 According to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner, “it was unclear exactly what happened to Evans.” He got hit hard in the sternum on a catch over the middle, but remained in the game for a few plays before needing help from the training staff to get off the field. Shanahan said the team couldn’t tell if Evans broke a rib or injured his oblique, but he believes those questions will be answered tomorrow, indicating Evans will likely undergo imaging. He entered the game with a hip injury. Wagoner adds that LT Trent Williams (stinger) and LB Dre Greenlaw’s (quad) injuries “seemed less severe” than Evans’ injury. |

49ers WR Mike Evans was carted off in the second quarter of Week 3 against the Cardinals with an apparent torso injury. 2026-09-27 18:00:02 Evans took a major hit in the second quarter against the Cardinals, with Budda Baker jarring the veteran receiver in his torso. Trainers came out and took Evans off the field; he was seemingly struggling to breathe as he headed to the sideline. It is unclear yet what the injury is, but Evans was carted to the locker room shortly after. He had caught 3-of-6 targets for 34 yards and a touchdown at the time of his departure, with one of his catches leading to a pitch to Deebo Samuel on a hook-and-ladder touchdown. |

49ers WR Mike Evans (hip) active for Week 3 against the Cardinals. 2026-09-27 15:00:01 Evans entered the weekend questionable for Week 3 after missing two practices and getting in one limited practice during the week. The veteran tends to rest minor injuries before playing in games, indicating his hip issue should not have a major impact on his output against the Cardinals. The 49ers declared QB Kurtis Rourke, DE Nick Bosa (calf), DL James Thompson (ankle), DE Romello Height (hand), LB Tatum Bethune, CB Ephesians Prysock, and OT Enrique Cruz Jr. inactive for Week 3 against the Cardinals. |

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Mike Evans (hip) plans to play in Week 3 against the Cardinals. 2026-09-27 10:00:01 Evans has been trending in the right direction throughout the week, with Kyle Shanahan already telling reporters a few days ago that he has a good chance to suit up. The team officially listed him as questionable on their final injury report, but fantasy managers can assume he is playing for now. Evans could see his role scaled back slightly, but the 49ers are extremely thin at receiver, having lost Demarcus Robinson to an ankle injury most recently. Even at less than full strength, Evans remains in play as a fantasy WR2. |
