STACKED’s take

Positive signalInjury

Evans' early Q2 exit left 49ers offense crippled; 94 first-half yards nearly 3x second-half passing.

Evans exited the game at 1:08 of Q2 with a 16-yard reception. His first-half impact was dramatic: in five drives with Evans, the 49ers totaled 41 plays, 303 net yards, 17 first downs, 214 passing yards, and 20 points. After Evans left, the offense managed only 19 plays, 72 net yards, 3 first downs, 34 passing yards, and 3 points. Evans' 94 first-half yards were nearly three times the passing game's second-half output. He was instrumental on all three first-half scoring drives, including a 54-yard gain and a 24-yard reception. The source emphasizes the injury's severity and hopes it is not long-term, as the 49ers offense was significantly diminished without him.
