James Thompson plays as 49ers and Rams announce inactives for season opener

The 49ers and Rams have released their active rosters ahead of tonight's NFL season opener in Melbourne. San Francisco defensive tackle James Thompson is active despite managing a hamstring injury, while teammate Alfred Collins remains on season-ending injured reserve following a patellar tendon tear. George Kittle and Nick Bosa are both dressed for the 49ers without injury designations. The Rams enter the matchup without defensive lineman Aaron Donald, who did not travel with the team. Stetson Bennett will serve as the backup quarterback for the Rams, while Kurtis Rourke acts as the emergency third option for the 49ers. The teams also adjusted their depth charts by elevating KhaDarel Hodge and Ogbo Okoronkwo from the practice squad for this contest.
