49ers wide receiver Mike Evans sidelined with new injury

The San Francisco 49ers returned to practice on August 25 but were without wide receiver Mike Evans, who is sidelined due to a new groin injury. Evans had been dealing with a quad injury throughout training camp and left practice on August 22 after running a deep route. With Evans unavailable, Brock Purdy's receiving options are limited, with Christian Kirk and Jacob Cowing also not participating. Deebo Samuel, De'Zhaun Stribling, Demarcus Robinson, and Jordan Watkins remain as the primary healthy targets as the team prepares for the regular season.
