Mike Evans is officially active for the San Francisco 49ers today, and that’s huge news for a squad that’s been battling injuries like crazy all season long. Getting any starter back on the field is a major win for them, especially someone like Evans, who was on the field for warm-ups when they beat the Cardinals 36-30 just last week.
The 49ers Get a Boost (But Still Have a Big Name Out)
This Evans return is a big, big deal. The 49ers have been dealing with a relentless injury bug this year, so having a player of his caliber back for Week 4 is exactly what they need. It shows they’re not just limping along. Still, it’s not all clear skies for the Niners. Defensive end Nick Bosa, a truly big name, is still on the sidelines. He’s a huge piece of their defense, and his absence is definitely felt. The rest of the 49ers inactive list for today includes QB Kurtis Rourke, OL Enrique Cruz, LB Tatum Bethune, DT James Thompson, and CB Ephesians Prysock. They’ll need others to step up in a big way to cover those gaps.
Broncos Look Mostly Healthy Heading into Week 4
On the other side of the ball, the Denver Broncos are coming into this game feeling pretty good about their health. Their inactive list is mostly what you’d expect, similar to what they rolled out back in Week 1. The main guy they’ll be without is edge rusher Dondrea Tillman. Beyond him, it’s mostly players who are regular fixtures on the inactive list week in and week out. Their full inactive list today features QB Sam Ehlinger, OLB Dondrea Tillman, TE Dallen Bentley, OL Kage Casey, and DT Tyler Onyedim.
With Evans back on the field for the 49ers and the Broncos bringing a largely healthy squad, this Week 4 matchup is shaping up to be a tight one. It’s all about who’s ready to make the plays and step up in crunch time.
