  "account": "San Francisco 49ers receiver Mike Evans will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup against the Denver Broncos after suffering a rib injury during last week's game. Initially listed as questionable, Evans returned to practice on a limited basis but remains uncertain for the upcoming game. Coaches Kyle Shanahan expressed hope that Evans might play, despite the injury potentially originating from an early hit by Budda Baker. Evans, who has had previous experience playing through rib injuries, expressed his determination to try to get on the field for his team. The 49ers have promoted Brandin Cooks to the active roster as a backup plan should Evans not be able to play.",
