American football wide receiver, updated bio
The San Francisco 49ers have defeated the Los Angeles Rams 24-7 in the first regular-season NFL game in Australia, with Brock Purdy directing a precise performance and the defense stifling Stafford. San Francisco arrived a week early, while Los Angeles traveled on short notice. The result extends the 49ers’ recent dominance in the NFC West rivalry.
The 49ers have added veteran receiver Brandin Cooks to the practice squad amid a spate of injuries to their receiving corps, sources confirm. The move comes as Mike Evans is managed after a hip injury, and Deebo Samuel and other veterans step up as San Francisco pursues wins in the early season.
