The San Francisco 49ers prepare to face the Los Angeles Rams in a season-opening matchup held in Melbourne, Australia. Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris confirmed that star defensive end Nick Bosa will be active for the contest. Bosa missed the majority of the previous season after sustaining an ACL injury that limited him to three games. During those appearances, he recorded 17 tackles, two sacks, and two forced fumbles. The game marks a significant test for both teams within the NFC West divisional race. The Rams, playing in their first regular-season game in Australia, plan to counter the San Francisco defensive front with a starting tackle duo of Alaric Jackson and Warren McClendon Jr.
