49ers hoping WR Mike Evans practices this week

Sep 01, 2026

John Lynch says that the 49ers hope to have Mike Evans, who has an adductor injury, back at practice next week.

Fantasy Impact:

Use of the word "hope" doesn't make us feel warm and fuzzy about Evans' status heading into Week 1, at least at this point. He'll lose a couple of days to get ready as the 49ers play the Rams in Week 1 next Thursday night. The now seemingly oft-injured Evans will probably need to start logging some practice time soon, if he wants to be ready for the Sept. 10 game in Melbourne. With Kittle also a question mark, the Niners could be looking for Deebo, the rookie Stribling and of course CMC in the passing game.

Raiders return to the practice field after the roster cutdown deadline. Still no Ashton Jeanty.

Related players: Mike Washington Jr., Dylan Laube, Chris Collier

Fantasy Impact:

We're inside two weeks until the Raiders first game, so there's time for Jeanty to get back on the practice field, but fantasy owners should probably have a backup plan at this point. The team has made it obvious they love Washington Jr., the rookie they drafted this past spring, and if Jeanty can't play Week 1, it really looks like Washington could step right in as their RB1.

Wide receiver Malik Nabers remains noncommittal about playing Week 1.

Fantasy Impact:

Nabers is coming back from a torn ACL last year. According to the story everything has been trending in a positive direction for Nabers. Nabers was quoted as saying there are some things he needs to check off before he gets back on the field, but he feels "real good." While he's keeping his checklist in-house, the story said it wasn't anything too big he needs to overcome yet.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) progressing toward playing Week 1

Rookie RB Jeremiyah Love is "progressing really well" toward playing in Week 1 and he took another step yesterday and LaFleur said he'll take another step today.

Related players: Tyler Allgeier, Zonovan Knight

Fantasy Impact:

It sounds like Love has a chance to play in Week 1, but it's certainly not a lock at this point, especially coming off a high ankle sprain. Even if Love plays, it may not be a full workload. Allgeier is a more than capable back and could be in store for a big workload if Love can't suit up. Knight flashed for the Cards at time last season and would likely get some work as well. If you drafted Love, or plan to, having Allgeier as a handcuff seems like a good idea.
