The San Francisco 49ers face a major defensive setback just days before their season opener against the Los Angeles Rams, as starting DT Alfred Collins tore his patellar tendon in Melbourne and will miss the entire season. Collins, a key force who forced a game-changing fumble against the Rams last year, is now sidelined, leaving a void in the interior line alongside fellow injury-plagued Sam Okuayinonu. With players like Osa Odighizuwa and rookie Gracen Halton stepping up, the Rams’ offense — especially their run game — could find an opening. Despite the blow, the 49ers still boast elite talent like Nick Bosa and have had extra time to adjust overseas, but this loss dramatically shifts the rivalry matchup’s dynamics.
