Jake Tonges was ruled out after a second-quarter knee injury, and the 49ers also lost receiver De'Zhaun Stribling in the same game.
- On Thursday, Sept. 10, San Francisco 49ers tight end Jake Tonges suffered a knee injury during the team's Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia, forcing his early exit from the contest.
- More than 100,000 fans filled the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the showcase NFL game, but the atmosphere shifted as multiple San Francisco players sustained injuries throughout the match.
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Tonges sustained an MCL injury, stating "it's not good" during the postgame press conference after the tight end struggled to walk off the field unassisted.
- Earlier, 49ers receiver De'Zhaun Stribling was ruled out after suffering an ankle injury, though San Francisco continued to dominate the Rams, leading 24-7 at the time of publication.
- With Tonges sidelined, the 49ers may rely on backup Luke Farrell for increased snaps, while the team also has tight ends Kahlil Dinkins and Brayden Willis available on the practice squad.
