49ers receiver Mike Evans is questionable to play in Sunday’s game against the Broncos after a limited practice Friday. He will try to play in a built-in compression jersey with padding to protect his injured ribs.
Coach Kyle Shanahan called Evans a “game decision.”
” I will do my best (to play),” Evans said, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com.
He once played something similar.
Evans said he wasn’t sure when he injured his ribs, but it didn’t feel good.
“That shit hurt like hell,” Evans said. “It was like contactless. It might have happened before, but when I was running a route and I turned around, I felt it, like, ‘Ah!’ It felt like someone had stabbed me in the chest.
“But it’s cool. The training staff and doctors did a good job of getting me off the field and making sure I was good.”
Shanahan broke his ribs in a car accident this summer, so he sympathizes with Evans.
“Mine are good now, but it’s been two months and I wouldn’t doubt it,” Shanahan said. “I would be eliminated, no doubt. But he’s definitely a lot tougher than me, so I hope we have a chance.”
The 49ers have ruled out defensive linemen Nick Bosa (knee/calf), James Thompson Jr. (ankle) and Mykel Williams (knee).
Left tackle Trent Williams (neck) has no injury designation.
Defensive end Keion White (hamstring), linebacker Dre Greenlaw (quad) and linebacker Jaden Dugger (shoulder) are questionable. Dugger was a new addition to the injury report Friday.
