The San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon at Levi's Stadium. Mike Evans is on the injury report, listed as questionable. Evans is dealing with a hip injury after exiting during the second half of San Francisco's Week 2 victory over the Miami Dolphins.

Here's everything we know about Mike Evans' injury and his playing status vs. the Cardinals.

Mike Evans' injury status vs. Cardinals

Given that Mike Evans intends to play despite his questionable designation on the official NFL injury report, the expectation is that he will suit up against the Cardinals. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Evans plans to play through the hip injury on Sunday.

“49ers WR Mike Evans (questionable, hip) plans to play for the 49ers on Sunday vs Arizona, per source,” Fowler tweeted.

Evans missed both Wednesday and Thursday practices before returning as a limited participant Friday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan also downplayed the severity of the injury earlier in the week, saying Evans could have returned against Miami if the game had been closer.

Through two games with San Francisco, Evans has recorded nine receptions for 103 yards and one touchdown. He has quickly become one of Brock Purdy's primary perimeter targets.

The 49ers are already dealing with injuries at wide receiver. Demarcus Robinson has been ruled out with an ankle injury, while Christian Kirk remains on injured reserve. Evans' expected availability therefore comes at an important time for San Francisco's passing game.
