49ers Mike Evans Questionable for Sunday Due to Rib Injury

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans is currently questionable for the upcoming game against the Denver Broncos, creating uncertainty around his participation. Evans’ decision on whether to play will be made close to game time, as noted by 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan.

Despite suffering from a rib injury, Evans has expressed his determination to play. “It’s my job,” he stated, emphasizing his commitment to the team.

During a recent practice, Evans described the severe pain he experienced after an encounter during the previous game, likened to being “stabbed” in the chest. This injury had him leave the field and head to the locker room for further assessment. Yet, he has not committed to wearing extra protection like a flak jacket, preferring a compression shirt that provides built-in padding instead.

Coach Shanahan revealed his own experiences with rib injuries, humorously noting that Evans is “a lot tougher” than he is. The coach remains hopeful about Evans’ ability to play in Sunday’s critical matchup.
