Mike Evans Drops Update on Nagging Injury — And His Week 1 Status
The 49ers have been hit hard by injuries this camp. Here's the latest on Mike Evans' groin issue — and whether he'll play Week 1.
As the San Francisco 49ers face a challenging injury situation, Mike Evans has provided some positive news ahead of the season opener. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has reported that Evans plans to play in Week 1, despite his own nagging injuries. The quarterback, 33, has already battled a quad strain and a groin issue throughout training camp.
However, the groin issue is considered minor. The 49ers' injury woes extend to star wide receiver George Kittle, who is recovering from a torn Achilles, as well as running back Christian McCaffrey, who has been sidelined with muscle tightness. Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has also been ruled out for the season due to a PCL knee injury, while wide receiver Christian Kirk has missed practice since late July due to a calf strain.
With these injuries, Evans could see increased playing time, especially as the 49ers' season opener approaches on September 10th against the Rams in Melbourne, Australia.
