The Dallas Cowboys are not a defense that does well with going off script, nor are they a team capable of defending serious weapons. Those two realities may be about to converge when they take on the San Francisco 49ers this coming weekend. The NFC's top team thus far with a 7-1 record, the 49ers have been humming along despite having one of the most ridiculous injury situations at the wideout position in recent memory.
Thanks to a stellar defense, they've survived the decimation of the entire corps. Ricky Pearsall has been out all season, while veteran Christian Kirk and second-round rookie De'Zhaun Stribling have been out since Week 1. Deebo Samual has missed the last three games with a hamstring and their biggest weapon, Mike Evans has been out two
with Achilles tendonitis.
And it looks like the future Hall of Famer who has earned over $166 million across his stellar career, may miss Sunday's matchup.
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan called Evans "week to week", and he didn't practice on Wednesday. Achilles injuries aren't normally the type where a player could sit out until late in the practice week and still participate in the coming game.
In six games, Evans has 27 receptions for 420 yards and two scores. On Tuesday, the 49ers traded for wideout Keenan Allen, potentially another Hall of Famer, to try and stem the tide of all of their injuries.
