Could suit up Sunday
Bosa (hip/oblique) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Bosa appeared to be trending toward not playing in Sunday's contest after downgrading from a limited practice session Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday. The Ohio State product then practiced in a limited capacity again Friday, giving himself a chance to take the field Week 16. If he's unable to play through his hip and oblique injuries Sunday, Robert Beal (ankle, questionable) or Yetur Gross-Matos will likely start opposite Leonard Floyd.

Misses practice Thursday
Bosa (oblique/hip) was a non-participant at the 49ers' practice Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Bosa was able to participate in a limited capacity to open the week Wednesday, taking a step backwards in his activity level just a day later. With the 49ers unlikely to make the postseason, the team will likely be very conservative with their superstar edge rusher. If Bosa can't go in Week 16, Yetur Gross-Matos and Robert Beal would stand to see an increase in workload Sunday versus the Dolphins.

Limited to open week
Bosa (oblique/hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Bosa returned from a three-game absence to play in the 49ers' Week 15 loss to the Rams this past Thursday, finishing with four tackles (two solo) while playing 47 defensive snaps. He should be able to play against the Dolphins on Sunday unless he downgrades to a DNP over the next two days.

Active Thursday
Bosa (oblique/hip) is active for Thursday night's matchup with the Rams, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: This ends a three-game absence for the four-time Pro Bowler and 2022 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, who accumulated 36 tackles (24 solo), including 7.0 sacks, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in his first 10 games of 2024. Bosa was listed as a non-participant on the 49ers' first two practice reports of the week and a limited participant Wednesday, so his snap count in Thursday's game will be worth monitoring.

Likely to play Thursday
Bosa (oblique/hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams but is considered likely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 49ers will put Bosa through a pregame workout before deciding whether he'll play Thursday, but barring any setbacks, the star defensive end looks on track to put an end to his three-game absence. Bosa was listed as a non-participant on the 49ers' first two Week 15 practice reports before upgrading to limited activity Wednesday, so the 49ers could keep his snap count in check if he's cleared to play.

Questionable for Thursday night
Bosa (oblique) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Rams, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Bosa's oblique injury has keep him on the sidelines for each of the 49ers' last three games, but he's got a chance to return in Week 15. The All-Pro defensive end upgraded from a DNP on Tuesday to a limited session Wednesday, suggesting that he's trending in the right direction ahead of Thursday's contest. Bosa would be a significant addition to the 49ers' defense, especially since San Francisco recorded two or fewer sacks in two of the three games he missed.

Estimated as DNP
Bosa (oblique) was estimated as a non-participant at Monday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bosa has been sidelined for the 49ers' last three games due to a left oblique injury that he aggravated in Week 11 against the Seahawks. Although he is considered day-to-day heading into Thursday's game against the Rams, Bosa hasn't been able to participate in practice since the injury, and he would be a longshot to play unless he returns to practice Tuesday or Wednesday.

Still under evaluation
Bosa (oblique) still is considered day-to-day as the 49ers start Week 15 prep Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bosa was unable to practice last week leading up to his third straight absence due to the injury. Considering the lack of practice time and a short week with the 49ers hosting the Rams on Thursday, it seems unlikely the Ohio State product would be able to suit up for the divisional matchup. However, a definitive answer likely will surface closer to kickoff.

Ruled out for Week 14
Bosa (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Bosa was unable to practice this week due to a left oblique injury, and he is set to miss his third straight game. Given the 49ers have a short turnaround before their next game against the Rams on Thursday, Dec. 12, it's possible Bosa will be sidelined for a fourth game. Robert Beal and Yetur Gross-Matos will continue to see more defensive snaps due to Bosa's injury.

Doubtful for Sunday
Bosa (oblique) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Bosa logged back-to-back DNPs to begin San Francisco's week of practice and is expected to miss his third consecutive game Sunday after sustaining an oblique injury in a Week 11 loss to the Seahawks. Robert Beal and Yetur Gross-Matos will likely continue to see increased snaps with the 49ers' first-team defense while Bosa remains sidelined in Week 14.

Stays sidelined
Bosa (oblique) will not practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bosa has missed the 49ers' last two games and it appears he may be in danger of missing a third. Considering he hasn't practiced since suffering the injury in Week 11 against the Seahawks, he'll likely need to practice in some fashion Thursday or Friday to have any chance of suiting up against the Bears on Sunday.

Won't play in Week 13
Bosa (hip/oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Buffalo, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Bosa will miss his second straight contest due to hip and oblique injuries. The veteran pass rusher didn't practice at all this week, so he didn't come close to being able to suit up. Robert Beal likely will log more than his usual allotment of defensive snaps with Bosa out of action Sunday.

Not practicing Wednesday
Bosa (hip/oblique) will not practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bosa missed last Sunday's loss to the Packers after he was injured in the Week 11 loss to the Seahawks. Sam Okuayinonu, Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos paced the 49ers in pass-rushing snaps off the edge versus Green Bay and would likely do so again if Bosa is unable to play Sunday in Buffalo.

Ruled out for Sunday
Bosa (hip/oblique) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Bosa didn't practice all week after sustaining hip and oblique injuries in San Francisco's Week 11 loss to the Seahawks, and he won't travel with the team to Green Bay as he rehabs his oblique, per Inman. The 49ers' pass-rush unit could struggle without Bosa in Week 12, as the 27-year-old has posted a team-high 7.0 sacks through 10 games this season. Yetur Gross-Matos is likely the top candidate to replace Bosa on San Francisco's defensive line Sunday.

Misses practice again
Bosa (hip) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan also told radio station KNBR that Bosa is "in jeopardy of not playing Sunday" against the Packers, per Branch. Bosa injured his hip on a third-quarter sack of Seattle quarterback Geno Smith during last Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks. The four-time Pro Bowler has yet to miss a game this season, and Robert Beal and Yetur Gross-Matos are the 49ers' next available defensive ends.

Sits out practice Wednesday
Bosa (hip) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Bosa injured his left hip while sacking Geno Smith during the third quarter of Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks and was unable to return to the contest. The star pass rusher would be in danger of missing his first game of the season Sunday against the Packers if he's unable to practice in at least a limited capacity Thursday and/or Friday.

Might not play Week 12
Bosa (hip) has about a 50-50 chance to suit up Sunday against the Packers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The defensive end sustained the hip injury during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks and did not return to the game. San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Monday that, "there's just as good of a chance for him to not play as play," per Wagoner. If the 2022 NFL Defensive Player of the Year can't suit up, Robert Beal and Yetur Gross-Matos are next in line to replace him.

Might miss time
Bosa (hip) is concerned that he will have to miss time after leaving Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks and not returning, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The defensive end sacked Seattle quarterback Geno Smith in the third quarter but appeared unable to celebrate due to the injury, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Bosa entered the game with a questionable tag due to an injury to his other hip, and he believes he may have overcompensated during the contest, according to Wagoner. The 2022 NFL Defensive Player of the Year has 32 tackles (22 solo), including 5.5 sacks, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024.

Questionable to return Sunday
Bosa (hip) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Bosa reached Geno Smith for a sack early in the third quarter, but he appeared to be in too much pain to celebrate according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. The defensive lineman received treatment on his left hip while the Seahawks continued their drive, but his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air.

Will play against Seattle
Bosa (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Lindsey Peters of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Bosa's ability to practice in a limited capacity Friday earned him a questionable tag, and the 2019 first-round pick will suit up for Sunday's NFC West clash. Bosa enters Week 11 having logged 2.5 sacks over his last three outings.

Questionable for Week 11
Bosa (hip) was a limited practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable against the Seahawks on Sunday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Bosa opened the week with consecutive DNPs due to a hip injury that he played through in Week 10 against the Buccaneers. However, he was able to return to practice Friday, albeit in a limited capacity, and it's likely that he'll work through the issue in Sunday's NFC West clash. Bosa has logged 32 tackles (22 solo), including 5.5 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through nine regular-season games.

Won't practice Wednesday
Bosa (hip) will not practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Bosa played through his hip issue in the 49ers' Week 10 win over the Buccaneers and recorded four total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 49 defensive snaps. Wednesday's DNP is likely precautionary, but the All-Pro defensive end could be in jeopardy of missing Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks if he can't upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday.

Good to go Sunday
Bosa (hip) is active for Sunday's Week 10 battle against the Buccaneers, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Bosa was questionable heading into the weekend due to a hip injury. Though he's going to suit up Sunday, the veteran defensive end could log less defensive snaps than usual, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Bosa has 4.5 sacks through eight contests, putting him on pace for his lowest total since 2020, when he played in only two games due to injury.

Questionable for Week 10
Bosa (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Inman relays that Bosa was "extremely limited" during Friday's practice after suffering a hip pointer injury during Wednesday's session. That could mean Bosa is a true game-time decision for Sunday's game, and even if he does play, the 2019 first-round pick may operate on a limited amount of plays, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Either way, Robert Beal and Sam Okuayinonu should see increased snaps on defense alongside starting defensive end Leonard Floyd.

Working through hip injury
Bosa (hip) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: Bosa was playing through an elbow injury prior to the 49ers' Week 9 bye, but it appears he is now dealing with a hip issue that limited his participation in Wednesday's practice. He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Bosa has logged 28 tackles (19 solo), including 4.5 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across eight regular-season games.

Logs sack in win
Bosa recorded three tackles (two solo), with 1.0 sacks, during San Francisco's win Sunday over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Bosa was dealing with an elbow injury throughout the week, but he still managed to push his season sack total to 4.5 with Sunday night's takedown of Dak Prescott. His strong performance went beyond just the stat sheet, however, as the 2019 first-round pick also altered the trajectory of a pass that ended up being intercepted by Ji'Ayir Brown.

Good to go for Week 8
Bosa (elbow) was a full participant during Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Dallas.
Analysis: Bosa logged consecutive limited practices to open the week due to an elbow injury, but that doesn't appear to be cause for concern after he was able to practice without restrictions Friday. The 2019 first-round pick has logged 25 tackles (17 solo), including 3.5 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over the first seven games of the regular season.

Bosa (elbow) was a limited participant in San Francisco's practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Bosa popped up on the injury report Wednesday due to an elbow injury. While the 2019 first-round pick will look to be good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Cowboys, if he ends up being limited by the injury, Robert Beal would likely see increased playing time.

Bosa (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Bosa popped up on the 49ers' injury report Wednesday with a rib injury, and he was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday. Though he's likely at less than 100 percent health, the 2019 first-round pick will indeed suit up for Sunday's NFC West showdown.

Analysis: Bosa was added to the 49ers' injury report Thursday and was a limited participant in the team's final two practices of Week 3 prep, but he looks as though he'll be ready to play Sunday, though perhaps at less than 100 percent health.

Analysis: San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan explained Friday that Bosa suffered a rib injury during practice this week, per Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area. The issue resulted in the star defensive end being held to limited sessions Thursday and Friday. If Bosa were to miss the 49ers' Week 3 game, Yetur Gross-Matos and Robert Beal could be asked to step up with increased workloads on defense.

Produces double-digit sacks
Bosa finished the 2023 regular season with 53 tackles (34 solo), 10.5 sacks and two forced fumbles while starting all 17 games for San Francisco.
Analysis: Bosa had a down year based on the lofty standards he set for himself by averaging 17 sacks per year over his previous two campaigns. The 2022 Defensive Player of the Year was not one of the five finalists for the award this season, further highlighting the superstar's underwhelming final results. Even with all of the attention opposing offensive lines direct Bosa's way, the premier edge rusher still coasted to double-digit sacks for the third consecutive season.

Six tackles in win
Bosa had six tackles (four solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Bosa got to Drew Lock early in the fourth quarter before combining with Javon Kinlaw for another sack on the next possession. Bosa has now registered at least 1.5 sacks in four of his last five games and leads the 49ers with 9.5 sacks. The addition of Chase Young at the trade deadline has certainly helped Bosa and the San Fransisco pass rush attack.

Relentless in Week 12 victory
Bosa tallied five tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Thursday's 31-13 Thanksgiving win against the Seahawks.

He brought down Smith for a solo sack early in the third quarter and twice split a sack in the fourth. Bosa had a relatively slow start to the campaign with a modest 3.0 sacks over his first eight games, but since San Francisco's Week 9 bye he's posted 5.0 sacks across just three contests.

Registers in sack column again
Bosa recorded three tackles (two solo) including 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 34-3 win at Jacksonville.
Analysis: Bosa found his way into the sack column for the fourth time in his last five games Sunday. He also created a turnover for the first time this season. He's had a down year so far relative to the ridiculous standards he's set for himself over the past couple seasons, but he's still one of the best pass-rushers in the league and a good IDP play in Week 11 versus the Buccaneers.

Notches first sack of 2023
Bosa had three tackles (two solo), including one sack, in Thursday's 30-12 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Bosa totaled two quarterback hits as San Francisco's pass rush overwhelmed New York's banged up offensive line and kept Daniel Jones under constant pressure. The sack was his first since Bosa notched one in Week 17 of last season to bolster his 2022 sack total to 18.5. He failed to record a sack in three playoff games or the first two games of the 2023 campaign.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Bosa should be at full capacity for Week 2, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Bosa played just 35 defensive snaps during Sunday's 30-7 win against the Steelers but is expected to resume his normal workload for the team's Week 2 matchup against the Rams.

Cleared for Week 1 action
Bosa will play in Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, with coach Kyle Shanahan saying Friday that the defensive end looks "ready to go," Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Bosa resumed practicing Thursday after a contract dispute kept him away from the team for all of training camp and the preseason. He's now the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history and seems to have stayed in good shape while he was away from the team. It is possible he plays a few less snaps than usual, but Bosa figures to start and stay on the field for most of the game this Sunday in Pittsburgh.

Returns to practice after new deal
Bosa rejoined the 49ers for practice Thursday after being reinstated from the reserve/did not report list, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Bosa had been holding out from the 49ers throughout training camp and the preseason and then missed the team's first Week 1 practice Wednesday before coming to terms with San Francisco on a five-year, $170 million contract extension. Even though he remained away from the team for the past six weeks while seeking the richest deal for a defensive player in NFL history, Bosa seemed to keep himself in game shape. Per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, Bosa looked to be in "top physical condition"…read more

Inks record deal
Bosa agreed to a five-year, $170 million contract extension with the 49ers on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: While full details of the deal aren't yet available, Bosa looks as though he'll break most significant records for non-quarterback contracts. Micah Parsons or Justin Jefferson might challenge Bosa's deal for total and guaranteed money within the next year or two, but Bosa has a solid case as the most valuable non-quarterback in the league, coming off a 2022 season in which he led the NFL in sacks (18.5), knockdowns (28) and pressures (53) while serving as the most important player on the…read more

Still away from team
Bosa (contract dispute) didn't report to the 49ers' team facility Wednesday for the team's first official practice of Week 1, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Bosa continues to seek a new contract from the 49ers, and he looks set to continue the holdout he began late July into the regular season. The star defensive end would be in line to earn a $17.85 million salary in 2023 due to San Francisco exercising his fifth-year option last spring, but he's instead vying for a longer-term extension. If Bosa doesn't suit up Week 1 versus the Steelers, Clelin Ferrell and Drake Jackson would likely serve as the 49ers' starting defensive ends.

Remains without new contract
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that he's hopeful a deal between Bosa (contract dispute) and the 49ers will be "done soon," Clayton Holloway of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Bosa is set to earn $17.85 million in 2023 after the 49ers exercised his fifth-year option last spring, but the star defensive end prefers to enter the final season of his rookie deal with a new contract in two. He didn't join the 49ers at any point during training camp or the preseason and remains on the 49ers' reserve/did not report list as the team's Sept. 10 season opener in Pittsburgh draws closer.

Goes on reserve/did not report list
The 49ers placed Bosa (contract dispute) on the reserve/did not report list Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The move comes as no surprise considering Bosa didn't show up with his fellow San Francisco veterans to training camp Tuesday. He'll likely remain away from the team until he reaches an agreement on a new contract. The linchpin of the 49ers defense posted a whopping 34 sacks in 33 games over the last two seasons.

Holding out
Bosa did not report for camp Tuesday as he continues his contract dispute with the 49ers, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old is coming off an 18.5-sack season, as he led the 49ers to having the best defense in the NFL on a points allowed per game basis (17.2). Bosa has yet to agree to his second contract with San Francisco, and general manager John Lynch told reporters this week he doesn't expect the 2022 NFL Defensive Player of the Year to report to camp without a new deal.

Named top defensive player
Bosa was named the 2022 NFL Defensive Player of the Year on Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Bosa has emerged as an elite pass rusher the last two seasons, as he's combined to record 34 sacks across 33 games in that span. He was particularly dominant in 2022, when he managed 18.5 sacks across 16 regular-season contests. The 49ers are likely to make signing Bosa to a long-term extension a priority this offseason, as he's set to enter the final year of his rookie contract in 2023.

Sits out practice will illness
Bosa didn't participate in the 49ers' practice Wednesday due to an illness, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: The 49ers haven't provided word on the nature or severity of Bosa's ailment, though it's at least a positive development that the illness came near the start of the week rather than closer to Sunday's contest against the Raiders. The ability (or lack thereof) of Bosa to return to practice over the next two days should provide clarity about his chances to take the field in Las Vegas.

Picks up two more sacks Week 16
Bosa recorded seven tackles (five solo), including two sacks, and forced a fumble in Saturday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Bosa registered four quarterback hits in the victory, two of which went for sacks. The second of those takedowns resulted in a fourth-quarter Taylor Heinicke fumble that San Francisco recovered and ultimately converted to a field goal for a 10-point lead.

Analysis: Bosa missed practice all week, but reports earlier Sunday indicated he was in line to suit up anyhow.

Bosa (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, is in line to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The hamstring injury kept Bosa off the practice field Wednesday through Friday, but it doesn't look as though it'll be significant enough to keep the NFL Defensive Player of the Year candidate from suiting up Week 14. Bosa is coming off a huge three-sack effort in the Week 13 win over the Dolphins and is up to 14.5 for the season, one shy of last season's career-best total.

Iffy for Sunday with sore hammy
The 49ers list Bosa as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a sore hamstring, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: According to David Lombardi of The Athletic, head coach Kyle Shanahan said he's "hopeful" Bosa will be able to go Sunday, but the 49ers may wait to assess the star edge rusher in a pregame workout before ruling on his status shortly before the team's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Even if Bosa plays against the Buccaneers, there's a chance he'll face a more limited snap count than usual, given that the 49ers face a quick turnaround Week 15 with a Thursday night game in Seattle.

Analysis: Bosa was once again held out of practice Thursday as he continues to deal with a hamstring injury. The defensive end is coming off a season-best three-sack performance in Week 13 against the Dolphins and will likely need to log a full practice before Sunday if he hopes to suit up against Tampa Bay.

Held out of Wednesday's practice
Bosa (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Bosa opened Week 14 prep as a spectator during Wednesday's session, after head coach Kyle Shanahan previously said the star pass rusher is dealing with a "hamstring irritation" that the team will work through, per David Lombardi of The Athletic. Though the 25-year-old collected a season-high three sacks and forced a fumble on just 38 defensive snaps last weekend versus Miami, his status is definitely worth monitoring as the week goes on.

Dealing with minor injury
San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said that Bosa is dealing with a "hamstring irritation" that the team will work through ahead of Week 14 game against Tampa Bay, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Bosa recorded a season-high three sacks while playing 38 defensive snaps against Miami on Sunday, though he presumably picked up the injury at some point during the 33-17 win. Given the star defensive end's importance in San Francisco's pass rush, it's likely the team will take every precaution with this issue during Week 14 prep. Bosa's status on Wednesday's injury report should provide more clarity on his status heading into this Sunday's contest versus the Buccaneers' shaky offensive line.

Ready for team reps
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that Bosa (knee) will handle team reps for the first time in training camp, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 49ers have spent training camp easing Bosa back into action, but he's now progressed enough in his recovery from a torn left ACL to resume handling reps in team drills. The team has consistently stated that Bosa is on track for the regular-season opener against Detroit on Sept. 12, and this news represents another step in the right direction.

Nearing full clearance
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Bosa (knee) should be a full participant at practice next week, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Bosa has been easing into practice early in training camp, but he's expected to be a full go next week as he returns from a torn ACL. The 23-year-old is on track to be ready for the start of the regular season, as expected.

Practicing in pads
Bosa (knee) is on the field for Tuesday's padded practice, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Bosa is practicing alongside Dee Ford and Javon Kinlaw, who are both also working back from injury. The star defensive end is expected to be ready for Week 1, but the 49ers will continue to ease him along in recovery from his ACL tear. Until the team is sure that Bosa's chances of injury aggravation have been minimized, he'll likely remain limited, but it's certainly encouraging to see him taking part in padded practices.

Week 1 return expected
Bosa (knee) said he's on track to play in Week 1 against the Lions, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bosa tore his ACL in Week 2 of last season. Coach Kyle Shanahan said earlier in the offseason that he expected Bosa back for training camp, and Bosa's own proclamation that he'll be ready for Week 1 is further evidence that the defensive end's recovery is progressing as planned. Bosa's return would be a huge boon for San Francisco's defense, considering he notched nine sacks as a rookie in 2019.

On track for camp
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that he expects Bosa (knee) to be ready for training camp, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Working his way back from an ACL tear, Bosa is still rehabbing in South Florida while most of his teammates are at voluntary OTAs. Shanahan said the 49ers encouraged the 23-year-old to stay in Florida and stick with his routine, targeting training camp (late July or August) as a realistic goal for a return to practice. Bosa had nine sacks in 16 regular-season games and four more in three playoff contests during his 2019 rookie campaign before suffering the ACL tear in Week 2 of 2020.

To have surgery this week
Bosa is slated to have surgery on his torn left ACL and associated cartilage damage this week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Bosa was one of a number of 49ers to suffer injuries of varying severity last Sunday against the Jets, but only his and Solomon Thomas' (torn ACL) were season-enders. Once the procedure is complete, the 49ers likely will have a better idea of his recovery timeline, but they are hopeful Bosa will be healthy by Week 1 of the 2021 campaign. For the rest of this season, though, the team's pass rush will be led by Arik Armstead, Dee Ford (back), Kerry Hyder, Dion Jordan and Ezekiel Ansah.

Placed on IR
The 49ers placed Bosa (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Bosa tore the ACL in his left knee during the 49ers' Week 2 win over the Jets and will miss the remainder of the 2020 season as a result. With the 2019 No. 2 overall pick sidelined, the likes of Kerry Hyder, Dee Ford (back) and newcomer Ezekiel Ansah are options to help fill the resulting void at defensive end opposite Arik Armstead.

Diagnosed with torn ACL
Bosa officially suffered a torn ACL in his left knee Sunday against the Jets, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Bosa was carted off the field in the first half and didn't return. Eventually, Adam Schefter of ESPN revealed the second-year pass rusher likely suffered an ACL tear. Now, the results of an MRI have confirmed the extent of the injury. While this is a huge hit to the 49ers defense, the one silver lining is that Bosa should be healthy for the start of the 2021 campaign. In his absence, some combination of Kerry Hyder, Dee Ford (back) and recent signee Ezekiel Ansah will get pass-rushing snaps…read more

Possible ACL tear
Coach Kyle Shanahan noted that Bosa most likely tore his ACL during Sunday's game against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: If so, this would be a major hit to the 49ers defense. Look for added details on the severity of Bosa's injury after the rising young star undergoes further testing on his knee.

Done for day
Bosa (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Jets, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Bosa needed to be carted off the field after suffering the knee injury in the first quarter. With the Ohio State product sidelined, look for Kerry Hyder and Dekoda Watson to see an increased snap count. Expect the team to update Bosa's status following the contest.

Carted off Sunday
Bosa (undisclosed) was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the Jets, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: The specifics of the injury remain unclear, however, it's certainly a bad sign whenever the cart is needed. As long as Bosa is sidelined, look for Kerry Hyder and Dekoda Watson to see an increased snap count.

Forces fumble against Cardinals
Bosa tallied six tackles, a quarterback hit and a forced fumble in Week 1 against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Bosa made his mark on the game on a few different occasions, most notably forcing a fumble on the Cardinals' opening drive. Later that same possession, he forced an errant throw from Kyler Murray by applying pressure. The reigning Rookie of the Year winner will remain a key part of the 49ers' defense throughout the season.

Returns to practice Monday
Bosa (leg) returned to practice Monday, confirming his likely availability against the Cardinals on Sept. 13, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com.
Analysis: It appears as if head coach Kyle Shanahan was correct about Bosa's expected availability for the start of the season following a bout with a minor leg injury. Barring any setbacks, look for the 23-year-old to try and build on a rookie campaign that netted him NFC Defensive Rookie of the Year honors with him also nearly winning the Defensive Player of the Year award.

Expected for Week 1
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that he would be surprised if Bosa (leg) wasn't available for Week 1, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Bosa has been sidelined with the muscle strain for the past week and underwent an MRI to confirm there was no significant damage. The fact that Bosa's coach has confidence in his status for Week 1 is a strong sign for his availability, so expect the All-Pro to be ready to go against the Cardinals on Sept. 13.

'Week-to-week' with muscle strain
Coach Kyle Shanahan termed Bosa "week-to-week" due to a muscle strain in his leg, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After Bosa complained about soreness in his leg, Shanahan shut him down Sunday, and eventually the pass rusher underwent an MRI, per Wagoner. Shanahan told David Lombardi of The Athletic that the 49ers are "glad he ended up getting that MRI because there was more to it. ... Fortunately, we caught that and we were able to prevent him from hurting it worse." It appears rest is in order for Bosa to ensure he's ready to go for a Week 1 matchup versus the Cardinals on Sept. 13.

Misses consecutive practices
Bosa (undisclosed) sat out Sunday's practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Bosa took a maintenance day Saturday, but it's concerning that he's now missed two straight practices. If he indeed has an injury, it's likely minor considering Shanahan's initial report, but if he misses a few more practices, we could have a better idea of what he's dealing with.

Takes home hardware on SB eve
Bosa won AP Defensive Rookie of the Year honors Saturday.
Analysis: He was also given the Pepsi Rookie of the Year award, but Bosa would undoubtedly trade both awards for a win in the upcoming Super Bowl on Sunday. The second overall selection in the 2019 draft has played a key role in his team's run to the Super Bowl, recording three sacks in San Francisco's pair of playoff wins after accruing nine during the regular season. Teams picking at the top of the draft aced their selections in 2019, as first overall pick Kyler Murray won Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Shows up big vs. Vikings
Bosa recorded six solo tackles, two sacks and one defended pass during Saturday's win over the Vikings.
Analysis: Coming off a stellar regular-season campaign, the rookie second-overall pick logged a dominant performance during Saturday's NFC divisional-round win. Bosa withstood an apparent abdominal injury that kept him on the ground for an extended period in the fourth quarter, but he managed to remain on the field. The likely Defensive Rookie of the Year will look to keep up his momentum in next Saturday's NFC Championship Game against either the Packers or Seahawks.

Stellar rookie campaign
Bosa finished the regular season with 47 tackles (32 solo), nine sacks, a forced fumble and an interception in 16 games.
Analysis: The second-overall pick put the league on notice when he racked up a whopping seven sacks over his first seven contests. Bosa did slow down in that department in the second half of the season, but the loss of fellow edge rusher Dee Ford was a significant factor as opposing defenses began to double Bosa often. The talented lineman still finished with 80 total pressures, which was 14 more than any other rookie in NFL history, according to Cam Mellor of Pro Football Focus. If the 49ers are able to…read more

Shut out in win
Bosa recorded no tackles, sacks or pass breakups in Saturday's 34-31 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Bosa did hit the quarterback twice, so he wasn't totally without an effect on the game. He'll try to record his 10th sack of the season Week 17 against Seattle.

Beat up by Saints
Bosa only logged two solo tackles in 68 defensive snaps in Sunday's 48-46 win over New Orleans.
Analysis: Bosa and the rest of the stout defensive line were held in check for much of the game, and he moved his season tackle total to 38 (26 solo). He may be hitting a little rut late in the season, as Bosa has secured just one sack in his six contests.
