San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel wasn't listed on Friday's injury report and will be available for Sunday's contest against the Dallas Cowboys following a three-game absence due to a hamstring issue.

"He had a good week, healthy," Shanahan told reporters, according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner. "First week back, so he's still getting back into it, but (he) took care of himself real well while he was injured and had a good week."

Samuel suffered the injury during San Francisco's win over the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 11.

The 49ers went 2-1 without Samuel, beating the Washington Commanders and Las Vegas Raiders but losing to the Atlanta Falcons in between.

The 30-year-old is expected to be among the top targets at quarterback Brock Purdy's disposal against the Cowboys, lining up alongside newly acquired wide receiver Keenan Allen, Demarcus Robinson, and Jordan Watkins.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Mike Evans remains out with an Achilles injury.

Evans has been sidelined since sustaining the injury on Oct. 19 against the Washington Commanders. He's missed two games and has been unable to practice.

However, Shanahan said Friday that there's a chance Evans could return for next week's contest in Mexico against the Minnesota Vikings.

Niners left tackle Trent Williams is questionable for Week 10 after suffering a shoulder injury in practice this week.

Cornerbacks Deommodore Lenoir and Renardo Green are also questionable due to foot and back injuries, respectively.

San Francisco is first in the NFC West with a 7-1 record.
