49ers WR Mike Evans is sitting out Tuesday's practice with a groin injury, according to insider Matt Maiocco. Evans has already missed multiple practices this month with a recurring quad issue.

No word yet on the severity of this groin injury, or if it's related to the quad issue. But it's been a worrisome month for Evans, who's 33 with a long history of soft-tissue injuries.
Perhaps the 49ers are just playing it safe with Evans ahead of the regular season. But he checks in as the sixth-biggest injury risk at WR, according to our Injury Predictor.
The good news: Much of that risk is baked into his sixth-round, WR28 ADP. He's worth a shot there. Just be aware of the injury-related downside.
