Niners' stars trying to heal before Raiders arrive - [your]NEWS

The San Francisco 49ers head into Sunday’s game against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders with several key players still sidelined after a 29-20 loss at Atlanta in Week 7, their first defeat in six straight wins. Running back Christian McCaffrey appears ready to test a hamstring injury, but wide receivers Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) are out. On defense, Nick Bosa (knee/calf) has been removed from the injury report. The 49ers also welcomed DeForest Buckner back via a trade during their bye week. San Francisco leads the NFC West by 2.5 games, helped by Brock Purdy’s 69.2% completion rate and 15 TDs through this stretch. Las Vegas enters at 4-4 after beating the Jets 38-33.
