The San Francisco 49ers will have to wait at least another week for the return of defensive end Nick Bosa, ruled out for Monday night as he continues to recover from a calf injury. Though there is at least a chance the team will have receiver Mike Evans and fullback Kyle Juszczyk available against the Washington Commanders.
Evans, dealing with Achilles soreness, is listed as questionable after not practicing this week. Shanahan noted Evans has played in games this year after missing practices during the week with injury. Juszczyk has no injury designation and will return from a knee sprain and bone bruise suffered in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos, a setback initially expected to keep him out two to three weeks but from which he recovered quickly.
Elsewhere, the 49ers ruled out receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring), safety Marques Sigle (ankle) and linebacker Garret Wallow (hamstring). Defensive tackle Gracen Halton (quadricep), safety Siran Neal (neck), cornerback Upton Stout (shoulder), defensive lineman Mykel Williams and wideout Christian Kirk (calf) are questionable. Rookie defensive tackle James Thompson Jr. returns this week after missing several weeks with a high ankle sprain. Kirk opened his practice window this week after being out since training camp with a calf injury, though Shanahan says he could "possibly" play against the Commanders.
