49ers' George Kittle: Looking increasingly likely to play vs. Rams
Kittle (Achilles) is in full uniform for the 49ers' practice session in Melbourne, Australia on Tuesday (local time), Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Earlier in the day, 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak said of Kittle: "Super impressed with how he's looked considering the injury and how quick he got back on the field. It's cool to me to see how Kittle looks ... Workload will be determined," per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. While that doesn't fully confirm that the star tight end will be ready to play in the season opener against the Rams, the fact that the team seems to be focused on Kittle's gameday workload, rather than his general playing status, suggests that he's more likely than not to suit up. Kubiak did give the caveat that Kittle will need to get through San Francisco's final practices before a decision is ultimately made, and the club's injury reports this week should shed further light on Kittle's level of participation in practice as well as his outlook for the Friday (local time) NFC West clash.

49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Fully dressed for second practice of week
McCaffrey (undisclosed) is in full uniform for the 49ers' practice session taking place Tuesday afternoon local time in Melbourne, Australia, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
McCaffrey wasn't spotted taking part in the early portion of practice Monday, so his presence on the field in full uniform Tuesday is a promising sign for his potential availability for the 49ers' season opener against the Rams. It's been a bit of a mysterious several weeks for McCaffrey, as he was described as dealing with "tightness" in early August and didn't play at all in the preseason while being an inconsistent participant in team drills. San Francisco's injury reports this week should shed some light on McCaffrey's status for the matchup against Los Angeles, but to this point he seems more likely than not to play in that contest.

49ers' De'Zhaun Stribling: Suited up for practice Monday
Stribling (shoulder) is in full uniform for Monday's practice in Melbourne, Australia, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
The practice session is technically taking placing Tuesday afternoon in Melbourne local time, but regardless, Stribling's participation is a positive sign as he looks to rebound from a minor shoulder injury. It remains to be seen what the rookie wideout's level of practice participation will be, but to this point there hasn't been any indication that he's in any danger of missing the season opener versus the Rams. Stribling appears in line for a big role in San Francisco's offense as one of the team's top three wideouts alongside veterans Mike Evans (adductor) and Deebo Samuel.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Expected to play Week 1
San Francisco defensive coordinator Raheem Morris said Monday that Bosa (knee) will play in Thursday's Week 1 matchup against the Rams, Harrison Rich of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Bosa has been continuing the rehab on his right knee after undergoing surgery for a torn ACL last September. The star edge rusher traveled with the 49ers to Melbourne, Australia ahead of Thursday's season opener, but his status had been uncertain entering the week. Morris seemed to confirm that Bosa will play while speaking to reporters in Melbourne on Tuesday (local time), saying of Bosa, "Oh, he's going out there. Whatever you want to say, he's going. He'll be there. We're not hiding that."

49ers' Sam Okuayinonu: Will undergo foot surgery
Okuayinonu broke his foot in practice last week and is set to have surgery to repair the issue, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday he hopes Okuayinonu can return near the end of the regular season, but it is unclear quite how long the recovery process will take. Okuayinonu previously had a plate in his foot, and the break occurred when it was stepped on during practice.

49ers' Mike Evans: Involved in practice Monday
Evans (adductor) was spotted on the field in full uniform during the open portion of Monday's practice in Melbourne, Australia, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Wagoner notes that linebacker Nick Bosa (knee) and running back Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed) were the only 49ers players who didn't appear to be mixing into team drills during the open portion of practice, so Evans appears likely to have been at least a limited participant in Monday's session. The 49ers will release their first injury report of the season later Monday, when the extent of Evans' practice participation will be revealed. Evans had his practice activity managed for much of training camp while he contended with a minor quadriceps strain and, more recently, an adductor injury.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Not practicing in early Monday drills
Bosa (knee) didn't participate in drills during the early portion of Monday's practice in Melbourne, Australia that was open to the media, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
While Bosa making the trip to Australia was considered encouraging in his comeback attempt from last season's ACL injury, he had been working off to the side in recent practices before the Niners left for Australia. He'll likely need to upgrade to full participation in practice by Wednesday to have a realistic chance at suiting up in Thursday's season opener versus the Rams.

49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Sitting out early drills Monday
McCaffrey (undisclosed) wasn't participating in drills in the early portion of the 49ers' practice early Monday in Australia, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Though McCaffrey wasn't on the field for the open portion of practice, it's possible that he fit in some work behind the scenes. San Francisco will post its first injury report of 2026 later Monday, when the extent of McCaffrey's practice participation will be revealed as the 49ers gear up for their season opener against the Rams on Thursday.

49ers' George Kittle: In line to practice Monday
Kittle (Achilles) is slated to practice Monday in Melbourne, Australia, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Kittle has made a speedy recovery from the torn right Achilles that he suffered in the 49ers' wild-card win at Philadelphia on Jan. 11, for which he underwent surgery three days later. Both GM John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan and the tight end himself expressed optimism in the offseason about Kittle being available Week 1 against the Rams, and his activation from the active/PUP list Aug. 23 begin to set the stage for such a reality. Kittle then logged team drills last week and made the trip to Australia with his teammates. The 49ers will post their first injury report of the season Monday, which will reveal how much activity he was able to manage.

49ers' Sam Okuayinonu: Lands on injured reserve
The 49ers placed Okuayinonu (foot) on injured reserve Friday.
Okuayinonu was already ruled out for Week 1 against the Rams due to a foot injury, which is severe enough for him to go on injured reserve. That means he'll be required to miss at least four games (barring an injury settlement), so the earliest Okuayinonu can return is Week 5 against the Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 11. In a corresponding move, the 49ers signed edge rusher Khalid Kareem from the Falcons' practice squad to the active roster.

49ers' Sam Okuayinonu: Won't travel with team to Australia
Okuayinonu (foot) will not travel with the team to Melbourne, Australia ahead of the Week 1 game versus the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Okuayinonu is coming off his best season, as he finished the 2025 campaign with 39 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and one forced fumble over 15 regular-season games. While he's not on the initial charter flight with his teammates, Okuayinonu remains listed as questionable, so the door isn't closed concerning his availability for the opener.
