49ers Award Game Ball to Dustin Perry After Melbourne Win
The 49ers opened the 2026 season with a 27-7 win over the Rams in Melbourne, and Nick Bosa revealed the game ball went to their strength and conditioning coach Dustin Perry for the week-long Australia trip that helped the team acclimate to the time zone and travel; aside from minor injuries to Jake Tonges and De’Zhaun Stribling, San Francisco heads home with momentum for Week 2 against the Dolphins, having added players like Mike Evans, Dre Greenlaw and Osa Odighizuwa in the offseason.
