Evans to Play Through Injured Ribs

49ers wide receiver Mike Evans is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos but plans to play through injured ribs using a padded compression shirt.

49ers wide receiver Mike Evans is questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Broncos after a limited practice Friday. He plans to play through a rib injury using a compression shirt with padding, calling it a "game-time decision."

"I'm going to do my best [to play]," Evans said. Coach Kyle Shanahan, who broke his ribs in a car wreck this summer, sympathizes but notes Evans is "definitely a lot tougher than me." The 49ers also ruled out defensive linemen Nick Bosa, James Thompson Jr., and Mykel Williams for the game. capturengo.com
