The San Francisco 49ers enter their Week 10 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys at 7-1. After Friday’s final practice before traveling to Dallas, head coach Kyle Shanahan gave updates on several players whose availability remains uncertain.
Veteran wide receiver Mike Evans has been ruled out for a third consecutive game as he continues to recover from Achilles tendinitis. The decision was expected after Evans missed practice throughout the week. Shanahan said the recovery is progressing well, but the team wants to ensure the injury fully heals and does not flare up again. Evans is considered week-to-week, and a return in Week 11 remains possible.
Deebo Samuel, who returned to practice this week after missing the previous four games, is reportedly available and off the injury report. Newcomer Keenan Allen is also expected to play after joining the team in a trade on Tuesday.
Several other 49ers are listed as questionable, with final availability decisions expected Saturday or Sunday. The group includes cornerbacks Deommodore Lenoir (foot), Renardo Green (back), Upton Stout (shoulder) and Nate Hobbs (adductor); offensive tackle Trent Williams (shoulder); linebacker Dre Greenlaw (knee); and defensive tackle C.J. West (knee).
