The fourth-round rookie has gotten over both issues and is set to start at left defensive tackle in the 49ers' Week 1 contest in Melbourne, Australia.

Renardo Green - Set for TNF in Australia Green (hamstring) does not have an injury designation ahead of Thursday's contest against the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Green is all set to suit up for what will be a Friday (local time) game against the Rams in Melbourne, Australia. The cornerback has been dealing with a hamstring issue that limited him in practice as recently as Tuesday. Despite the recent issue, Green has been cleared of any injury designation and is ready to start opposite Deommodore Lenoir for Week 1.

Dre Greenlaw - Set to suit up Greenlaw (Achilles) does not have an injury designation ahead of Thursday's contest against the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Greenlaw dealt with Achilles discomfort earlier in the week, which caused him to be limited in Tuesday's session. The starting weakside linebacker has gotten over the trouble and is all set to suit up for Thursday's divisional clash with the Rams in Melbourne, Australia.

Kyle Juszczyk - Cleared to play in opener Juszczyk (finger) does not have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Juszczyk was a limited participant in Tuesday's session as he dealt with the finger issue he sustained in early August. The fullback is healthy and all set to block for Christian McCaffrey in the Week 1 divisional showdown with the Rams.

Nick Bosa - No injury designation for opener Bosa (knee) does not have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Bosa was limited in Tuesday's practice as he put the finishing touches on his ACL surgery recovery process. The defensive end is healthy and all set to suit up for the Week 1 divisional showdown with the Rams. Bosa's last start was in Week 3 of the 2025 season against the Cardinals, when he suffered his ACL tear.

George Kittle - In clear to play Week 1 Kittle (Achilles) isn't listed on the 49ers' injury report ahead of Thursday's contest against the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact The game technically will be taking place Friday local time in Melbourne, Australia, but Kittle has made quick work in his recovery from the torn right Achilles that he suffered in San Francisco's wild-card win at Philadelphia on Jan. 11. Kittle was listed as limited on the team's first two practice reports of Week 1 prep, so it stands to reason he may operate with a cap on his snaps. Still, he's in line to be out there for the 49ers' regular-season opener.

George Kittle - Remains limited Wednesday Kittle (Achilles) remained limited in Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Coach Kyle Shanahan has already indicated Kittle will play in Thursday night's season opener against the Rams in Australia, but the team is monitoring his practice reps. The veteran tight end is coming off a torn Achilles and is expected to see his snaps dialed back some against Los Angeles, though he should remain a staple in the red zone. Kittle is probably more of a TE2 than locked-in TE1 for fantasy in Week 1.

Alfred Collins - Suffers torn patellar tendon, out for 2026 Collins will miss the entire 2026 season after suffering a torn patellar tendon during Tuesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The loss of Collins is another big blow to the 49ers' defensive front, as Sam Okuayinonu is scheduled to undergo surgery this weekend for a broken foot. Collins will eventually be placed on injured reserve, and the 2025 second-rounder will shift his focus toward being fully healthy for the start of the 2027 campaign. With rookie fourth-rounder Gracen Halton (ankle) and James Thompson (hamstring) also dealing with injuries, Osa Odighizuwa and CJ West are the only healthy defensive tackles on the 49ers' roster heading into Thursday's regular-season opener against the Rams in Adelaide, Australia.
