Mike Evans, a star wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, sustained a rib injury during the team's Week 3 game against the Arizona Cardinals. The injury occurred midway through the match but does not appear to be severe.

He joined the 49ers in the offseason and played in the team's Week 1 and Week 2 contests, but he left Sunday's game early due to the rib injury. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, who shared the news on Twitter, Evans is "day to day" with his injury, indicating a high probability that he will play in Week 4's game against the Denver Broncos.
The 49ers, currently 2-1, face off against the 2-1 Denver Broncos, who are considered one of the top teams in the AFC. Meanwhile, the 49ers hold a one-game lead in the NFC West over the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.
