Receiver Mike Evans is ruled out for the 49ers with a rib injury

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco 49ers receiver Mike Evans left the game Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals in the first half with a rib injury and won't return.

Evans was slow to get up after getting hit by Budda Baker on an incomplete pass late in the second quarter. He went to the injury tent briefly before being taken off the field on a cart.

The 49ers also lost 12-time Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams in the second half when he was taken to the locker room on a cart with a stinger. His return was listed as questionable.

Evans' injury is the latest to hit San Francisco's depleted receiver core. Ricky Pearsall had season-ending knee surgery early in training camp, rookie De'Zhaun Stibling had surgery on his ankle after getting hurt in the opener and is expected to miss about two months and Demarcus Robinson went on injured reserve Saturday with a high ankle sprain.

Evans left last week's win against Miami late with a hip injury. He missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before returning on a limited basis Friday.

He looked good early against the Cardinals, catching a short pass on the opening drive that he flipped to Deebo Samuel for an 82-yard score on a hook-and-ladder play. He then caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from Brock Purdy on the second drive.

The 33-year-old Evans had three catches for 34 yards in the game and has 12 catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns in his first season for the 49ers.

Evans is a six-time Pro Bowler and had at least 1,000 yards receiving in each of his first 11 seasons with Tampa Bay

DETROIT (AP) — Three people were killed and four more were injured when an argument led to gunfire at an after-hours strip club Sunday morning in Detroit, officials said.

Police responding to the 7:21 a.m. shooting on a largely residential street found three men who had been fatally shot, Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison told reporters at a news conference.

Four more people – two men and two women – were taken in private cars to area hospitals. None are thought to have life-threatening injuries.

All the victims are thought to be in their 20s and 30s, Bettison said.

“A fight occurred, an altercation occurred, and as a result individuals decided to settle it with gun violence,” he said.

“This address is not new to the Detroit Police Department,” he said, noting police had seven calls to the location this year. He said the department had leads but wouldn’t discuss them any further.

“This was an after-hours location,” he said of the shooting scene. “Imagine a strip club. … I'll leave it at that.”

Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield urged anyone with information to contact authorities.

“We know that we need more people to speak up to bring justice to the situation,” she said at the news conference. “It’s heartbreaking and our community should not suffer from this type of violence.”

Earlier Sunday, a shooting broke out at a birthday party at a park in Macon, Georgia, leaving 12 teens with gunshot wounds, Bibb County Sheriff David Davis said during a news conference. Two of the injured were in critical condition, while the others were stable. There were no immediate arrests, but Davis said investigators had several persons of interest.
