The San Francisco 49ers will be playing the Dallas Cowboys this week, and they continue to deal with several injuries ahead of the matchup. Mike Evans has missed the last few weeks with an Achilles injury, and it looks like he'll miss another week, as he's ruled out for the game.
Outside of Evans, the 49ers have several players listed as questionable, including CB Renardo Green, CB Deommodore Lenoir, LB Dre Greenlaw, LT Trent Williams, DT CJ West, S Upton Stout and CB Nate Hobbs.
The good news is that Deebo Samuel Sr. is not listed on the injury report, as he's missed the last few games with a right hamstring strain.
The 49ers knew they needed help in the wide receiver department, which is why they traded for Keenan Allen at the deadline. They were also interested in Josh Downs, according to general manager John Lynch.
“John Lynch on KNBR said the 49ers initially focused on Josh Downs (their interest had been reported) in the WR trade pursuit. In watching Downs, fellow Colts WR Keenan Allen grew on them — and they feel he's a perfect fit for the Shanahan offense and current WR situation,” David Lombardi of the San Francisco Standard wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Though the 49ers have dealt with so many injuries, they've still been able to win games, as they're currently 7-1. Brock Purdy is playing some of his best football, and the defense is still producing at a high level. If those two things continue, it may not matter who else is on the field for them.
