49ers rule out Mike Evans for Cowboys game

Left tackle Trent Williams and linebacker Dre Greenlaw are listed as questionable for Sunday's trip to Dallas.

Mike Evans will not play Sunday when the 49ers visit the Cowboys, the team has confirmed, even as coach Kyle Shanahan says the receiver is trending in the right direction.

Shanahan said Evans is getting better and the team wants to make sure he fully heals before putting him back on the field, which suggests this is more about caution than a setback. Either way, San Francisco will be without him against Dallas.

Evans isn't the only name on the injury report. Left tackle Trent Williams and linebacker Dre Greenlaw are both listed as questionable, leaving some uncertainty about the 49ers' lineup along the offensive line and at linebacker heading into the weekend.

No further details on the severity of Evans' injury or a target return date have been given. For now, San Francisco will have to navigate the Cowboys game without one of its receivers, while keeping an eye on whether Williams and Greenlaw are able to suit up.
