49ers get encouraging update on two starting corners, but Trent Williams doesn't practice
Deommodore Lenoir and Renardo Green returned to practice, while Trent Williams sat out after a shoulder injury and remains questionable, Shanahan said.
Starting cornerbacks Deommodore Lenoir and Renardo Green returned to practice Friday, providing an encouraging sign for the San Francisco 49ers ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
Both cornerbacks missed Wednesday and Thursday practices after sustaining injuries during the team's Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders; their return signals recovery from foot and back injuries.
Wide receiver Mike Evans remains ruled out due to his Achilles injury, missing his third straight game; however, teammate Deebo Samuel is cleared to return after missing time since Week 5.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team will turn to swing tackle Vederian Lowe and rookie linebacker Jaden Dugger if Williams and Greenlaw cannot play. "Hopefully we'll have Dre on Sunday," Shanahan said.
Defensive tackle C.J. West and defensive back Nate Hobbs are also questionable, both working their way back from Injured Reserve and potentially available for activation Saturday.
