The 49ers are making roster moves all the way from Australia.

With Sam Okuayinbo sidelined by a foot injury, San Francisco has officially signed defensive end Khalid Kareem off the Atlanta Falcons’ practice squad. Kareem, who has extensive experience playing under defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, is now making the long journey to Australia to join the 49ers in Melbourne.

Live from the Gold Coast, I break down how Kareem fits into the defensive line rotation, the evolution of the 49ers’ “Feverback” position, and how Raheem Morris’ aggressive blitz-heavy approach could reshape this defense.

Plus, we take in the early-morning scenery from Australia, go through the 49ers’ upcoming practice schedule in Melbourne, and examine whether the Rams’ later arrival could create a significant jet-lag and acclimation disadvantage ahead of kickoff.

The San Francisco 49ers have hit a snag ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Rams, as defensive end Sam Okuayinonu has been ruled out with a foot injury. With the defensive end rotation looking thin, especially with Romelo Height also managing an ankle injury, the focus shifts to new defensive coordinator Raheem Morris.

In this video, I break down how Morris’s experience with both 4-3 and 3-4 schemes could provide the flexibility the 49ers need to manufacture pressure. We look at the potential for more manufactured blitzes—a staple of Morris's past defenses—and which players might step up from the practice squad or move into new roles to fill the void.

Reporting live from Australia, I’m tracking how the 49ers adjust to these early-season hurdles.
