What happened: Mike Evans departed before halftime. Kyle Shanahan addressed the wide receiver's status following the early exit.

Why it matters: Evans arrived with recent rib trouble and Achilles soreness that previously sidelined him. Reduced availability narrows the rotation and shifts targets to reserve wideouts.

By the numbers: Per ESPN, Evans caught 30 passes for 368 yards and 3 touchdowns in 8 games in 2025.

What to watch: Watch upcoming practice participation and official game-status designations for clarity on availability.
