49ers' Alfred Collins: Suffers torn patellar tendon, out for 2026
Collins will miss the entire 2026 season after suffering a torn patellar tendon during Tuesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
The loss of Collins is another big blow to the 49ers' defensive front, as Sam Okuayinonu is scheduled to undergo surgery this weekend for a broken foot. Collins will eventually be placed on injured reserve, and the 2025 second-rounder will shift his focus toward being fully healthy for the start of the 2027 campaign. With rookie fourth-rounder Gracen Halton (ankle) and James Thompson (hamstring) also dealing with injuries, Osa Odighizuwa and CJ West are the only healthy defensive tackles on the 49ers' roster heading into Thursday's regular-season opener against the Rams in Adelaide, Australia.

49ers' Alfred Collins: Dealing with knee injury
Collins (knee) was a limited participant at the 49ers' practice Tuesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Collins is dealing with an apparent knee injury ahead of the team's regular-season opener, but considering he was able to practice in any capacity, it is likely a minor issue. The defensive lineman will have a chance to erase any doubt about his availability to play in Week 1 by logging a full practice Wednesday.

49ers' Alfred Collins: Removed from PUP list
The 49ers activated Collins (shoulder) from the active/PUP list Friday after he passed a physical, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Collins was working through a shoulder injury during the offseason, but he's now healthy enough to participate in practices. The 2025 second-rounder played in 16 regular-season games in his rookie year, finishing with 17 tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

49ers' Alfred Collins: Lands on PUP list
The 49ers placed Collins (shoulder) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Collins picked up a shoulder injury earlier in the offseason and will now be sidelined until he's activated off the PUP list. The 2025 second-round pick is coming off a solid rookie campaign with 1.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries and is expected to serve as the team's starting nose tackle during the 2026 season.

49ers' Alfred Collins: Finishes rookie year as starter
Collins recorded 17 tackles (four solo), two forced fumbles and one sack across 16 regular season games in 2025.
Collins was asked to start early in his rookie campaign for a San Francisco squad lacking interior defensive line depth. The second-round pick didn't stand out from a statistical standpoint, but he did record the first sack of his career. Collins should be a frontrunner to start at one of tackle positions in 2026.

49ers' Alfred Collins: Will play against Arizona
Collins (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Collins was a full participant in Friday's practice, and his lack of an injury tag puts him on track to return Sunday from a one-game absence due to a hip injury. His return means there will be less rotational snaps at defensive tackle available for Kevin Givens, Jordan Elliott and CJ West. Collins has accumulated eight tackles (two solo), one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries across nine regular-season games.

49ers' Alfred Collins: Back at practice to begin week
Collins (hip) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Collins missed practice last Thursday and Friday due to a hip issue, and he sat out Sunday's loss to the Rams. The fact he was able to return to practice Wednesday (albeit in a limited capacity) is an indication that he's progressing in his recovery, though it's not clear if he'll be able to return to action Sunday versus Arizona. Jordan Elliott and Kevin Givens both logged more defensive snaps than usual with Collins absent Week 10.

49ers' Alfred Collins: Won't play Week 10
Collins (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
Collins appeared on Thursday's practice report as a DNP due to a hip injury, which also prevented him from practicing Friday. The injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's NFC West tilt, which means there are more snaps at defensive tackle available for the likes of Jordan Elliott, Kevin Givens and CJ West. Collins will look to progress enough in his recovery to be available for Week 11 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 16.

49ers' Alfred Collins: Questionable after two DNPs
Collins (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Collins appeared on Thursday's injury report due to a hip injury, which was severe enough for him to miss the final two practices of Week 10 prep. He's still listed as questionable against the Rams, so his status for Sunday's game may not be officially known until the 49ers announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Kevin Givens, Jordan Elliott and CJ West could all see more snaps at defensive takcle in Week 10, given that Collins and Kalia Davis (ankle) are both listed as questionable.

Collins (hip) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
The defensive tackle was not listed on Wednesday's injury report. Collins has played in more than half the defensive snaps in each of San Francisco's last five games. Kevin Givens, Jordan Elliott and CJ West are the 49ers' reserve defensive tackles.

49ers' Alfred Collins: Set to play vs. Tampa Bay
Collins (knee) will play in the 49ers' matchup versus the Buccaneers on Sunday, Briana Jeannel of the team's official site reports.
Collins suffered a sprained knee in the Week 5 win over the Rams but is now healthy again. The rookie second-round pick has recorded just five tackles (two solo) across his first five outings while playing on both defense and special teams. He should continue to serve as a depth option along the defensive line in Sunday's game.
