49ers Defensive Line Crisis Deepens | San Francisco 49ers News
About this episode
The 49ers face significant injuries to their defensive line just before the season opener against the Rams.
The 49ers face a brutal early-season shakeup as rookie DT Alfred Collins tears his patellar tendon, sidelining him for the entire season—just days before their opener against the Rams. Backup DL Sam Okuayinonu’s foot injury adds to the defensive line woes, forcing the team to elevate veteran Ogbo Okoronkwo and wideout KhaDarel Hodge from the practice squad. Okoronkwo brings proven sack power to fill the void left by recovering star Nick Bosa and sidelined first-rounder Mykel Williams. On offense, Hodge’s eight seasons of experience could be crucial as other receivers deal with minor injuries. The 49ers are scrambling—but they’re not backing down.
