Nick Bosa and George Kittle travel to Australia for 49ers season opener

The San Francisco 49ers have arrived in Australia to prepare for their upcoming season opener against the Los Angeles Rams. Defensive end Nick Bosa and tight end George Kittle are expected to play despite dealing with recent injury recoveries. Bosa, who returned to full practice earlier this week, missed time throughout the summer due to an ACL recovery complicated by unexpected patellar tendonitis. General manager John Lynch stated the team expects both key starters to be in uniform for the Week 1 matchup. While Bosa acknowledged the physical difficulty of his recovery process, he successfully participated in team drills ahead of the travel schedule. The organization, which recently placed Sam Okuayinonu on Injured Reserve, looks to field a healthy roster as they adjust to the international time change before kickoff.
