49ers prepare for Australia trip before season opener against the Rams
Summary

The San Francisco 49ers are finalizing preparations for their upcoming travel to Melbourne ahead of a Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. During the 16-hour flight, wide receiver Mike Evans intends to watch the eight-film Harry Potter series to maintain a calm state. Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris briefed reporters on the team's readiness following Tuesday's practice session. The organization aims to have key players Kittle and Bosa travel with the team to ensure they participate in scheduled meetings and three practices on location. While the roster appears deeper and healthier than during the previous season, uncertainties persist regarding the physical readiness of certain starters to face the Rams. The team's approach to the travel logistics remains a point of focus for the coaching staff as they adapt to the international schedule.
