SANTA CLARA — Deebo Samuel Sr. is back. Mike Evans is not. And the 49ers will go to Dallas on Sunday not knowing if their left tackle can play.
That is the final injury report before the 49ers, 7-1, meet the Cowboys at 1:25 p.m. Pacific at AT&T Stadium.
Who is in
Wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. missed three games with a hamstring injury. He practiced in full Friday and has no injury designation. “Had a good week, healthy,” Head Coach Kyle Shanahan said.
Keenan Allen will make his 49ers debut. The six-time Pro Bowl receiver got through his first three practices after the trade from Indianapolis, and Head Coach Shanahan confirmed he will have a role.
Running back Christian McCaffrey is good to go.
Who is out
Wide receiver Mike Evans is out with an Achilles injury. The team wants it fully healed before he plays again, and Head Coach Shanahan said he could be back next week.
Who is a question mark
Left tackle Trent Williams hurt his shoulder in Thursday’s practice and did not practice Friday. He is questionable. So is linebacker Dre Greenlaw, with a knee injury. If Dre Greenlaw cannot go, rookie Jaden Dugger could see more snaps.
The secondary is banged up too. Cornerbacks Renardo Green, Upton Stout and Nate Hobbs and defensive back Deommodore Lenoir are all questionable, along with defensive lineman C.J. West.
What it means
Quarterback Brock Purdy gets two of his receivers back in the same week, one of them new. The worry is on the other side of the ball, where Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott could be throwing against a patched-up secondary.
