Nick Bosa could be closing in on a Week 1 return for the 49ers
Nick Bosa could be closing in on a Week 1 return for the 49ers. San Francisco's star pass rusher is coming back from a torn ACL, and the 49ers suddenly need him even more. Bosa recently returned to team drills for the first time since suffering the season-ending injury last September. The five-time Pro Bowler traveled with San Francisco to Australia for the opener against the Rams. The 49ers will already be without defensive end Sam Okuayinonu, thinning an already questionable edge-rusher rotation. Bosa has sounded encouraged by his progress. But after nearly a year away from regular-season action, the final decision will come down to whether the 49ers believe his knee is ready.
Corroborating: Bosa returned to practice and traveled with the 49ers to Australia. Current reporting says he is confident about playing the opener, but his Week 1 status has not been definitively confirmed.
