The 49ers leave tonight for Melbourne with Kittle and Bosa on the plane
The San Francisco 49ers leave the Bay Area late Wednesday for Melbourne with tight end George Kittle and defensive end Nick Bosa on the plane. That is the travel 53, not a Week 1 inactive list. Kickoff is Thursday, September 10 at 8:35 p.m. ET on Netflix. Travel is not a guarantee they dress. The Rams are taking the opposite construction: most of the work at home, arrive about 24 hours before kickoff. Build that roster at https://realitysportsonline.com
