"I'm going to do my best [to play]," Evans said. "That shit hurt bad. It was like non-contact. It might have happened before, but when I ran a route, and I turned, I just felt it, like, 'Ah!' Felt like somebody stabbed me in my chest." The 49ers also ruled out defensive linemen Nick Bosa, James Thompson Jr., and Mykel Williams.
