  "account": "San Francisco 49ers star pass rusher Nick Bosa will miss several games after tearing his calf muscle during warm-ups for practice earlier this week. Head coach Kyle Shanahan stated that Bosa sustained the injury on Thursday while performing \"high knees\" before practice. Shanahan confirmed on Friday that Bosa would likely miss the upcoming Sunday game against Arizona, as well as the following week. This injury marks the latest setback for the 49ers' defensive line, which is already down seven players this week, including Mykel Williams, who is recovering from knee surgery, and Sam Okuayinonu, who broke his foot before the team's season opener in Australia. Defensively, the 49ers have also lost Alfred Collins, C.J. West, and James Thompson Jr. to injuries. Rookie defensive end Romello Height has also been sidelined with a broken hand and will miss this week's game. The 49ers have dealt with a high number of injuries for the third consecutive season, a trend Shanahan acknowledged as part of the NFL's unpredictable nature. Bosa, despite not recording a sack this season, has maintained his status as one of the NFL's premier pass rushers, earning Pro Bowl honors in all five seasons he has been healthy and leading the league in sacks in 2022.",
