49ers GM John Lynch said Tuesday that the team "hopes" WR Mike Evans will return to practice next week, according to insider David Lombardi. Lynch also clarified that Evans is dealing with an adductor injury.

The team and media have downplayed Evans' injuries this summer. But he's missed extensive time with quad trouble and has been dealing with this latest injury for a week.
That'd be worrisome for any player. It's especially worrisome for a 33-year-old WR with an extensive injury history.
A healthy Evans boasts exciting fantasy upside in this high-scoring 49ers offense. But he also looks like one of the bigger risks on the board at his early-sixth-round ADP.
The 49ers' season opener vs. the Rams in Australia is only nine days away.
