Mike Evans, a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, is currently dealing with a minor groin injury but remains hopeful about participating in the team's first regular-season game against the Los Angeles Rams on September 10. This update comes from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Evans has already missed considerable practice time during training camp, initially sidelined by a quad issue before incurring the groin injury earlier this week. While he aims to return for Week 1, the limited practice has hampered his ability to develop rapport with quarterback Brock Purdy.

At 33 years old and with a history of injuries, Evans is considered a high-risk, high-reward pick for fantasy football enthusiasts as the season nears. No further information regarding his recovery timeline or practice participation has been released.
