49ers defensive lineman Sam Okuayinonu sustained a serious foot injury during the last practice before the team’s flight to Australia, complicating hopes for his participation in the season opener. Head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that Okuayinonu, who previously had a plate in his foot, will require surgery after breaking it again. This injury is a significant loss for the team, as Okuayinonu was expected to play a key role in their defensive line following a strong performance last season. The 49ers are now hoping to have him return later in the year.
