Nick Bosa will play against Rams in opener, defensive coordinator says
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa, sidelined since last September because of a torn ACL, will play in Thursday's season opener in Melbourne, defensive coordinator Raheem Morris said.
San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris revealed on Tuesday that defensive end Nick Bosa will play in the team's season opener against the Los Angeles Rams, following a month-long absence due to an ACL injury. Morris confirmed Bosa's participation after initially giving an unclear answer and being asked to clarify in a follow-up question.
Bosa, who tore his right ACL, had been dealing with lingering tendinitis early in August. He returned to practice on Wednesday, claiming his body felt great and he was preparing to play. However, he was not present at the beginning of Monday's practice, which was open to reporters. Morris stated that Bosa is prepared and ready to go, having demonstrated his ability to manage his body during his career. The 49ers will learn in three days if Bosa is in game shape and ready to face the Rams.
