Niners Down Under: Jet Lag & Magic | NFL News

About this episode

The Niners are jet-setting to Australia for crucial pre-season prep against the Rams, battling jet lag while aiming to hit the ground running for Week One. With a healthier roster than last year, key players like Kittle and Bosa remain in question—but veteran Mike Evans, rocking a Deathly Hallows tattoo and channeling Harry Potter’s underdog spirit, is feeling sharp and ready to binge the movies on the flight. Meanwhile, rookie De’Zhaun Stribling hopes to spot a kangaroo upon arrival, while Aaron Donald’s likely Week Two return gives the Niners’ line a brief reprieve from the legend’s wrath.

On September 2nd, alright, let's talk about the Niners heading down under. They're prepping for a big matchup against the Rams, and this trip to Australia is a major part of their strategy. They're aiming to get settled the right way, unlike the Rams, according to some reports. It's all about managing that brutal jet lag so they can hit the ground running for week one. The team's looking a lot healthier and deeper this year compared to last season. There are still some question marks though, especially around key players like Kittle and Bosa. Our availability for the Australia practices and meetings is a big focus, and honestly, who wouldn't want those guys ready to go? Meanwhile, veteran receiver Mike Evans at 33 is feeling good. He's been drawing inspiration from Harry Potter, of all things, seeing himself in the underdog wizard who stays humble despite his talent. He's even got a Deathly Hollows tattoo. He plans to binge the movies on the long flight, which sounds like a solid way to pass the time. On the injury front, there's still uncertainty about defensive end, Nick Bosa.

Players are trying all sorts of tactics to combat the travel fatigue, for Melatonin, to just hoping for a solid 12-hour sleep. Rookie receiver Dejan Stribling is hoping to see a Kangaroo once they land, which is a pretty cool goal. And for the Rams, it looks like Aaron Donald might not be back for week one. He's more likely to debut in week two or three. That's probably a relief for the Niners offensive line, giving them a bit more time before facing a legend like Donald, even if he's not quite in his.
