49ers address injury and roster concerns before season opener in Australia
Summary

The San Francisco 49ers depart for Australia this week for their September 10th season opener against the Los Angeles Rams. Health remains a primary concern for the team, as Nick Bosa, Mike Evans, and George Kittle manage various ailments before the flight. While all three players participated in recent practices, their availability remains critical for the squad. The team faces further roster uncertainty at left guard, where coaches have not yet named a starter between Carver Willis, Connor Colby, and recently acquired Jarett Patterson. Additionally, the secondary is under pressure as cornerback Renardo Green manages a hamstring injury and Jack Jones deals with an undisclosed issue. These absences leave depth at the position thin as the 49ers prepare to face Davante Adams and Puka Nacua.
