## Summary

The San Francisco 49ers have ruled wide receiver Mike Evans out of Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, while left tackle Trent Williams is questionable with a shoulder injury. The NFC-leading team’s growing injury list could affect its chances, although it will have additional options at receiver.

Evans will miss a third consecutive game as he recovers from Achilles tendinitis; coach Kyle Shanahan said he may be able to return next week against Minnesota. Williams, a 38-year-old 12-time Pro Bowler, missed Friday’s practice, with Vederian Lowe a likely replacement if he cannot play. Deebo Samuel is set to return from a hamstring injury, and newly acquired Keenan Allen is expected to make his 49ers debut; several defensive players are also listed as questionable.
