San Francisco 49ers place Alfred Collins on injured reserve before Rams game

The San Francisco 49ers announced three roster moves shortly before their scheduled game against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia. Defensive tackle Alfred Collins was placed on injured reserve following a torn patellar tendon sustained during practice on Tuesday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the injury will force Collins to miss the remainder of the 2025 season. To manage the vacancy, the team elevated wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge and defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo from the practice squad. This injury marks the second significant setback for the 49ers' defensive line recently, following a season-ending foot injury to Sam Okuayinonu. The game is scheduled to kick off at 8:35 p.m. ET.
