What happened: San Francisco’s defensive coordinator was unequivocal on Bosa: “He’s going to play.” Offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak said Kittle has looked good in his bid to return.

Why it matters: The 49ers face the Rams in the NFL’s first regular-season game in Australia, putting two key availability decisions inside an unusual travel week. Their return would restore established starters on both sides of the ball.

What to watch: Kittle must get through two more practices before receiving final clearance. The game kicks off Thursday night in the United States and Friday morning in Melbourne.
