Mike Evans Leaves 49ers Blowout With Hip Injury

The San Francisco 49ers are currently treating the Miami Dolphins like a junior varsity scrimmage, but the vibes in the Bay Area just took a massive hit.

According to Adam Schefter, wide receiver Mike Evans has suffered a hip injury and is officially questionable to return today.

"Adam Schefter tweeted: '49ers WR Mike Evans has a hip injury and is questionable to return today.'"

When your team is up 35-6, the only thing you care about is getting out of the stadium without anyone needing an MRI tube. Instead, the 49ers are now holding their breath over a guy whose recent medical chart is starting to look like a CVS receipt.

Evans has already battled a quad strain and a groin pull since August. That is on top of the injury-plagued campaign last year that finally snapped his legendary streak of 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. At this stage of his career, any lower-body issue is a flashing red light.

For fantasy managers and live bettors who needed Evans to clear his receiving props in the second half, this is the exact kind of brutal beat that makes you want to throw your phone into the ocean. You do not get a refund when a guy's hip flares up in the middle of a blowout.

Now we wait for Kyle Shanahan to step to the podium after the game and give us the coach-speak translation of how bad this actually is. Given the scoreboard, Evans will not see the field again today regardless of how that hip feels, but his availability for next week is suddenly the biggest story in San Francisco.
