The 49ers Are Refreshed in Australia and Preparing for the Opener vs. the Rams
Brayden Willis returns after being waived, giving San Francisco a blocker and special teams depth as it prepares for the season opener.
- The San Francisco 49ers held their first full practice Monday at AAMI Park in Melbourne, Australia, preparing for Friday's season opener against the Los Angeles Rams.
- Following their arrival last Friday, players adjusted to the long flight with help from head coach Kyle Shanahan's training staff, who provided instructions that mitigated jet lag.
- On Sunday, San Francisco signed 26-year-old tight end Brayden Willis to the practice squad roughly 24 hours after waiving him, keeping him with the team in Australia.
- The 49ers retained eight captains including quarterback Brock Purdy and running back Christian McCaffrey, entering the season after a 41-6 Divisional Round loss to Seattle last year.
- Shanahan changed his initial skepticism about the Melbourne trip after witnessing strong fan support, emphasizing that the 17-game schedule makes every matchup critical for competition.
