49ers wide receiver Mike Evans returns to practice ahead of Titans matchup

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans participated in practice on August 11 before the team's joint session with the Tennessee Titans. Evans had been sidelined since August 3 due to a quad issue but showed signs of recovery. The 49ers are focused on ensuring Evans is healthy for the regular season rather than maximizing his participation in training camp. His return reinstates him at the top of the 49ers' depth chart, alongside rookie De'Zhaun Stribling and veteran Deebo Samuel. The 49ers and Titans are set to meet for their preseason opener on August 13 at Levi's Stadium.
