Description:
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.
