Wide receiver Mike Evans of the San Francisco 49ers is dealing with a minor groin injury but is optimistic about being ready for the team's regular-season opener against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday, September 10. This information was reported by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

Evans has missed significant practice time during training camp, initially due to a quad issue before sustaining the groin injury earlier this week. Although he is focused on returning for Week 1, the limited practice time has affected his ability to build chemistry with quarterback Brock Purdy.

At 33 years old and with a history of injuries, Evans is being viewed as a high-risk, high-reward option for fantasy football players as the season approaches. Further details regarding his recovery timeline and participation in practices have not yet been provided.
