Mike Evans injury update as 49ers WR leaves after non-contact injury on 'Monday Night Football'

The San Francisco 49ers are no strangers to injuries. And lately, Mike Evans isn’t either.

That was the case for the Niners receiver on “Monday Night Football,” who departed with trainers ahead of halftime in Week 6. The ESPN broadcast showed footage of Evans stretching out his lower body earlier in the game and Evans went down after a catch late in the first half.

Evans was seen stretching on his way to the locker room, walking with a noticeable limp.

The 33-year-old was battling a rib and Achilles injury prior to Week 6. He didn’t log any practice time, but was still able to suit up on Monday night.

He signed a three-year, $42 million deal with San Francisco in free agency during the offseason.
