The 49ers are uncertain if veteran wide receiver Mike Evans will play Sunday against the Broncos due to a rib injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan remains hopeful but cautious about Evans' participation. Additionally, linebacker Dre Greenlaw is questionable with a quad contusion and rookie linebacker Jaden Dugger could be out after injuring his shoulder in practice. Other players listed as questionable or ruled out include defensive end Keion White (hamstring), Nick Bosa (calf), Mykel Williams (PUP list), and James Thompson Jr. (ankle). Trent Williams, the All-Pro left tackle, is expected to play after recovering from a neck stinger.
