Mike Evans day-to-day with rib injury ahead of Denver game

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans left the Week 3 game against the Arizona Cardinals with a rib strain late in the second quarter on September 27, 2026. Following evaluations, his status has been updated to day-to-day, which could allow him to play in the upcoming game against the Denver Broncos. Though Evans appeared to be in significant pain after the collision with Budda Baker, the immediate prognosis is considered positive. He has made a strong start with two touchdown receptions in three games, creating a solid connection with quarterback Brock Purdy.
