Sam Okuayinomu Missing 49ers Flight to Australia, Questionable

Published September 3, 2026 · Updated September 3, 2026 · NBC Sports

The San Francisco 49ers have departed for Australia, but defensive end Sam Okuayinomu is not with the team due to a foot injury. He is listed as questionable for the Week 1 matchup against the Rams.

Okuayinomu was expected to be a key rotational player after starting 12 games last season. The 49ers announced he is questionable, though it remains possible he will fly to Melbourne separately if his foot improves.

Meanwhile, tight end George Kittle and defensive end Nick Bosa are on the plane and reportedly ready to face the Rams. afrikasportnews.co.za
