49ers manage Mike Evans’ hip injury as receiver depth thins
Mike Evans is questionable for San Francisco’s 27 September game against Arizona after leaving the win over Miami, while Demarcus Robinson could be placed on injured reserve.
San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Mike Evans’ hip injury would be managed during the week after the newly acquired receiver left the team’s 35–13 win over the Miami Dolphins.
Evans recorded three catches for 54 yards before his departure and is listed as questionable. His availability for San Francisco’s scheduled home game against the Arizona Cardinals on 27 September has not been confirmed.
The injury adds to pressure on the 49ers’ receiving depth. Demarcus Robinson could be placed on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain, although that decision has not been confirmed.
Rookie receiver De’Zhaun Stribling has already been placed on injured reserve, according to the source. The developments leave San Francisco managing multiple personnel uncertainties ahead of its next game.
The update on Evans’ management was reported by Matt Barrows on X and attributed to Shanahan. The source does not provide a definitive diagnosis, severity assessment or recovery timeline.
