The San Francisco 49ers will visit the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Sunday for their Week 10 matchup. San Francisco enters the game at 7-1 and atop the NFC after a 38-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Dallas is 4-5 after edging the Indianapolis Colts 27-23 in Week 9.
The 49ers listed left tackle Trent Williams as questionable after he injured his shoulder during Thursday’s practice. He did not practice Friday, leaving his status uncertain heading into Sunday. Williams has started all eight of San Francisco’s games this season, so the matchup would mark his first missed game of the year if he cannot play. His absence would be a significant setback for the 49ers’ offense.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the timing of the injury made the situation challenging but expressed hope that Williams would be ready. “Anytime you hurt your shoulder on a Thursday, it doesn’t make you totally at ease. Sunday comes fast, but hopefully it’s enough time for him to be all right,” Shanahan told reporters.
San Francisco will also be without wide receiver Mike Evans, who is set to miss his third straight game after suffering an Achilles injury in the Week 6 matchup against the Washington Commanders.
The 49ers rank third in the NFL in scoring, averaging 29.4 points per game, and sixth in total offense at 376.8 yards per game. They average 135.3 rushing yards per game, seventh in the league, and 241.5 passing yards per game, ranking 11th. Their performance against Dallas could be affected if Williams is unable to protect the offense’s left side.
