Texas A&M fans are closely watching the NFL's opening week as former Aggies star Mike Evans is likely to be available for the San Francisco 49ers' season opener. Evans returned to practice on Wednesday following an adductor injury, which is a positive sign for his participation in the upcoming game.

The 49ers are set to face the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia, for Week 1. Evans had been recovering from his injury but was able to practice before the team's departure, which was earlier than expected. General manager John Lynch had indicated the hope of having Evans back on the field around the time of the trip.

Evans, who joined San Francisco in March after a successful 12-year tenure with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is anticipated to play a crucial role in the team's offense this season. Known for his impressive size and route-running skills, Evans is expected to enhance the 49ers' offensive capabilities, especially with several players sidelined at the start of the season.

For Texas A&M supporters, Evans' return to practice is particularly significant, as he is one of the most accomplished players in the program's history. His ongoing success in the NFL has made him a prominent figure associated with Texas A&M football.

While Evans still needs to navigate the remainder of the week without any setbacks, his return to practice marks a critical step towards his debut with the 49ers.
