49ers lose Alfred Collins for the season due to knee injury

In Melbourne, Australia, San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Alfred Collins is out for the season after tearing his patellar tendon during practice. Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the injury, which poses a significant challenge for the team's defensive line as they prepare for their season opener against the Los Angeles Rams. Collins was expected to play a key role this season, and his absence, along with other injuries to teammates, raises concerns about the team's defensive depth.
