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.
- On Monday, the San Francisco 49ers held their first full practice of the week 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 as head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team's training staff instructions helped mitigate 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 organization in Melbourne.
- The 49ers retained the same eight captains from last year, with quarterback Brock Purdy joined by Christian McCaffrey and six others, entering the season after a 41-6 Divisional Round loss.
- Shanahan changed his initial hesitation about the Australia trip after witnessing expected fan support in Melbourne, saying the 17-game schedule makes competition paramount.
