The Niners just took a brutal hit: defensive lineman Alfred Collins tore his patella tendon in Australia, sidelining him for the entire 2026 season. A key young piece in their rebuilding defense, Collins’ injury not only ends his immediate impact but raises serious concerns about his long-term career. With first-round pick Mykel Williams also sidelined and no clear replacement ready—CJ West’s rookie stats were underwhelming, and rookie Gracen Halton is unproven—the team’s depth is dangerously thin. Being overseas adds another layer of difficulty to finding a quick fix. This is a major blow to their turnaround hopes—and a tough moment for Collins himself.
