San Francisco 49ers prepare for season opener against Los Angeles Rams

The San Francisco 49ers head to Australia for a Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Heading into the matchup, the 49ers face several roster questions including significant depth issues on the defensive line following a season-ending injury to Alfred Collins. Additional injury concerns involve Sam Okuayinonu and Mykel Williams, forcing the team to evaluate its pass rush without several key players. On offense, the team must determine how to balance touches for Christian McCaffrey alongside reserves Kaelon Black and Jordan James., the coaching staff is expected to utilize a rotation at left guard to address a lack of depth at that position. Despite these personnel challenges, wide receiver Mike Evans is cleared to participate after an injury-plagued training camp.
