San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Alfred Collins will miss the entire 2026 season after suffering a torn patellar tendon during a Tuesday practice in Melbourne, Australia. The injury, confirmed by head coach Kyle Shanahan, occurred just days before the team's season opener against the Rams. This is a significant blow for the 49ers, as Collins will be sidelined for the entirety of his second professional season due to the severe knee injury.
