49ers Face Rams in Historic Australia Clash Without Collins
San Francisco faces Los Angeles in the NFL's first regular-season game in Australia on Thursday, but without starting defensive tackle Alfred Collins.
The 49ers will meet the Rams at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday, September 11, in the National Football League's first regular-season contest played in Australia, per ESPN. The game kicks off at 8:35 p.m. ET.
The 49ers will have to reorganize their defensive line after starting defensive tackle Alfred Collins suffered a torn patellar tendon during practice, per ESPN. Collins is unavailable for the entire 2026 season.
