Will Nick Bosa, George Kittle have Week 1 pitch counts? 49ers mailbag

Key Points:

• The San Francisco 49ers have traveled to Australia ahead of their Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams, with most players on board except for injured defensive end Sam Okuayinonu and several others on PUP/injured reserve lists.
• Rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling is expected to primarily play as the slot (F) receiver and serve as an understudy at the X position, with flexibility among receivers to cover multiple spots.
• Key players Nick Bosa and George Kittle may be on snap counts for Week 1 due to limited practice time and the long travel, with Bosa historically playing about 55% of defensive snaps in similar situations.
• The 49ers are likely to continue exploring pass-rush options and may pursue moves before the November trade deadline, while their cornerback depth is thin but supplemented by players like Jack Jones, Ephesians Prysock, and Siran Neal.
• The 49ers plan to bring the Bumpboxx walkout spectacle to Australia, reflecting the NFL's showmanship, and will hold closed practices there despite the NFL's efforts to grow its international fanbase.
