NFL-49ers beat Rams 27-7 in landmark Australia game
Nick Bosa, a standout defender for the San Francisco 49ers, is set to play against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday. Bosa tore his ACL during the third game of the previous season, which unfortunately cut short his campaign and prevented him from winning his second career Defensive Player of the Year award.
However, 49ers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris has clarified that Bosa will indeed play against the Rams in Melbourne, and there are no significant limitations to his availability. Bosa has had almost a full year to recover and regain his full strength, which is a positive sign for the 49ers, who have faced injuries over the past couple of years.
Bosa's potential impact could be significant, as he is attempting to hinder quarterback Matthew Stafford's performance. This is the second time Bosa has torn an ACL, with the first occurring during the 2020 season around the same time as his previous injury. Despite this setback, Bosa remains just 28 years old and is expected to bounce back, potentially taking some time to adjust to playing again following his second ACL tear.
