Nick Bosa is one of many San Francisco 49ers players working back from injury in training camp.
But good news for the team arrived on Sunday at the team prepares for its second preseason game against the Chargers.
All-Pro defensive end Nick Bosa was back on the practice field for the first time in over two weeks as he deals with tendinitis in his knee. The edge rusher was seen doing work off to the side, a sign that he is trending in the right direction.
49ers fans can let out a sigh of relief as one of the team’s defensive stars appears to be making favorable progress.
Bosa was listed as week-to-week due to the latest setback in his surgically repaired knee.
“Pretty normal thing with ACLs,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said earlier this month. “Gotta be smart and be week-to-week. No concerns about it being more than that.”
Bosa sustained a torn ACL in Week 4 against the New York Jets, which effectively ended his 2025 campaign. He was one of many 49ers stars to suffer a season-ending injury last season.
The 49ers are less than a month away from the season opener on Sept. 10 against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia, but there is still time for Bosa to be ready for the showdown.
In 2025, the 49ers finished last in sacks with 20. A healthy Bosa would certainly increase that number and San Francisco will need their defensive star if the team hopes to keep up with the rest of the NFC West.
The Rams are the current Super Bowl favorites and the Seahawks are the defending champions.
