Lenoir logged six tackles (three solo) in the 49ers' 27-7 Week 1 victory over the Rams.

Lenoir played all 61 of the 49ers' defensive snaps in the contest. The cornerback was a force to be reckoned with up close, taking down three ball carriers by himself and assisting on three stops while providing strong coverage for the entirety of the game.

Greenlaw logged six tackles (one solo) during the 49ers' 27-7 win over the Rams in Week 1.

Greenlaw played 40 of 61 defensive snaps (65.6 percent) in San Francisco's Week 1 victory and finished tied with Deommodore Lenoir as the team's third-leading tackler behind Fred Warner (11) and Marques Sigle (nine). It was just the 11th regular-season game that Greenlaw has appeared in since tearing his Achilles in Super Bowl LVIII at the end of the 2023 season, as the veteran linebacker has also dealt with other lower-body injuries since. His defensive snaps figure to be closely monitored given his injury history, but the addition of Greenlaw in the offseason bolstered the 49ers' linebacker corps that also consists of Warner and Luke Gifford.

Bosa made four tackles (three solo) in the 49ers' 27-7 Week 1 victory over the Rams.

Bosa showed out as a run defender during his first game back from an ACL injury that he suffered in Week 3 of the 2025 season. The defensive end didn't notch a sack in the Week 1 contest, but he was a strong presence on the edge against the Rams' run and pass game. The 28-year-old played 59 percent of the defensive snaps, in line with the other starters on the team's defensive line.

Sigle recorded nine tackles (four solo) during the 49ers' 27-7 win against the Rams in Week 1.

Sigle was on the field for all 61 of San Francisco's defensive snaps in Week 1, and his tackle total was the second best on the team behind Fred Warner's 11. He may be a worthwhile IDP consideration in some leagues heading into a Week 2 matchup versus the Giants.

Green logged three tackles (two solo) and one pass defensed for an interception in the 49ers' 27-7 Week 1 victory over the Rams.

Green picked off Matthew Stafford during the second quarter on a pass intended for Puka Nacua. The cornerback had a stellar night in coverage while playing all 61 of the 49ers' defensive snaps.

Turner recorded seven tackles (two solo) during the Rams' 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 1.

With Aaron Donald not playing Week 1, Turner was tasked with a bigger role in the pass rush alongside Myles Garrett, Byron Young and Braden Fiske. The Rams didn't end up sacking Brock Purdy in the loss, with the defense logging two quarterback hits for the entire game. Turner logged at least 7.0 sacks in each of his first three NFL seasons, and he'll look to tally his first sack of the 2026 campaign in Week 2 against the Giants on Monday, Sept. 21.

Young played 47 defensive snaps and notched one tackle in the Rams' 27-7 Week 1 loss to the 49ers.

Young tallied just one stop in the contest despite playing 72 percent of the defensive snaps. The linebacker was mostly neutralized on the edge and did not have a night that lived up to his 12.0-sack season in 2025.

Watson tallied four tackles (two solo) during the Rams' 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 1.

Watson was working through a toe injury leading up to the Rams' regular-season opener, though the issue didn't appear to be a severe one as he played all 65 defensive snaps. Watson was a full-time starter for the Chiefs in 2025, playing 90 percent or more of the team's defensive snaps in 14 of the 16 regular-season games he played in. Watson signed a three-year contract with the Rams in March to start opposite fellow former Chief Trent McDuffie at outside corner. The Rams gave up 205 passing yards and three touchdowns to Brock Purdy in Week 1, so Watson and the secondary will look for better results in Week 2 against the Giants on Monday, Sept. 21.

Davis recorded seven tackles (two solo) during the Rams' 27-7 loss against the 49ers in Week 1.

Davis played only 32 of the Rams' 65 defensive snaps in Week 1, but he was able to achieve a new career-high tackle total. He may have earned himself some more playing time come Week 2 versus the Giants.

McDuffie recorded four solo tackles and two pass defenses during the Rams' 27-7 Week 1 loss to the 49ers.

Week 1 was McDuffie's first game in a Rams uniform after being acquired from the Chiefs in early March. He was responsible for two of the Rams' seven pass defenses of Brock Purdy, and it was just the second time since the beginning of the 2025 regular season that McDuffie logged at least two pass defenses in a game. The 2022 first-rounder inked a four-year contract extension with the Rams in a deal that made him the highest-paid cornerback in the league prior to Christian Gonzalez's extension with the Patriots, and the Rams are relying on McDuffie to solidify a defense that allowed the 11th-most receiving yards to wideouts in 2025.
