49ers go all-in in Melbourne, Rams keep it light as stakes diverge
TL;DR Summary
San Francisco went all-in on the Australia trip, arriving early and pouring resources into the Melbourne game, but lost starting DT Alfred Collins to a patellar tendon injury, heightening the risk to Week 2 readiness; Los Angeles kept a lighter footprint, didn’t bring Aaron Donald, and returns to Pacific time with an extra day to recover before Week 2 vs. the Giants—making a loss feel much bigger for the 49ers than for the Rams.
