Nick Bosa's availability remains mystery ahead of 49ers' trip to Australia
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa hasn't played since tearing his right ACL last September. Whether he will be ready for the team's Sept. 10 opener versus the Rams in Australia is unclear.
The San Francisco 49ers are set to depart for Melbourne, Australia, for their Sept. 10 season-opener against the Los Angeles Rams. The team's defensive end, Nick Bosa, remains uncertain as to whether he will join the trip. General manager John Lynch confirmed that Bosa worked out on a side field on Monday and Tuesday, but he did not participate in open practice.
Bosa has been dealing with tendinitis since August, following a torn right ACL he suffered in September 2019. Coach Kyle Shanahan stated that the team is being cautious by monitoring Bosa's practice intensity daily. Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris hinted at a plan to get Bosa ready for the game, but he did not disclose the details to avoid alerting the opposing team.
Rookie defensive end Romello Height also missed the practice due to an ankle injury, while Mykel Williams will miss at least four weeks on injured reserve. The 49ers plan to spend a week in Melbourne before the game, and the Rams will fly in the day before to avoid adjusting their sleep schedule.
