The signs of a deeper and far more talented defense were evident — not necessarily by who was on the field Saturday, but by who wasn’t.
Khalil Mack, acquired from the Chicago Bears to form a pass-rushing tandem with fellow outside linebacker Joey Bosa, didn’t play Saturday and probably won’t if Staley sticks with his plan to keep the starters off the field until Sept. 11. Bosa also didn’t play against the Rams.
Defensive linemen Sebastian Joseph-Day, a free-agent signee who won a Super Bowl ring with the Rams last season, and Austin Johnson, a free agent from the New York Giants, didn’t play. Linebacker Kyle Van Noy, a Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots in 2018, didn’t play.Expectations have been heightened.
