A day after that, however, he experienced some soreness that caused him/the team to be more cautious, per Kyle Shanahan. Which is why Bosa remains out of action.
- Oct 23 David Lombardi (X) Shanahan says that Nick Bosa was “a little too optimistic” when he said 2 weeks ago that he’d certainly be back before the bye. Said Bosa felt some soreness the day after he said that, and that this Atlanta game being on artificial turf didn’t help his chances to play
- Oct 23 David Lombardi (X) No Mike Evans or Nick Bosa at the open portion of Friday’s 49ers practice. I do not expect to see either of them on the field in Atlanta

- Sep 25 David Lombardi (X) Beyond time to start viewing the 49ers' strategy practically instead of histrionically... If you were expecting Nick Bosa to enjoy a smooth-sailing season after a third torn ACL, I really don't know what to tell you. The 49ers weren't either, which is one reason why they've been interested in the top of the DL trade market. But that market isn't really open yet. So the 49ers need to bridge the gap with what they have — and that's a lot of good healthy players. And they'll continue to aim for having Bosa available for the most pivotal parts of the season
- Sep 25 David Lombardi (X) Yup. And it’s why aggressive management and inevitable issues have been expected this season. The goal (and likely only attainable reality) is to have Nick Bosa available for the biggest stretches of the season · Quoting Dr. Nirav Pandya, M.D.: Bosa has had 3 ACL surgeries and core muscle surgery. That is a lot for any athlete to overcome and play at an elite level, yet he has been able to do so.
- Sep 25 David Lombardi (X) One big difference between this season and last is that the 49ers actually have an interior pass rush now thanks to Osa Odighizuwa and Gracen Halton. That makes life for the DC, now Raheem Morris, more manageable whenever Nick Bosa is unavailable — because at least SF can strain the pocket from somewhere. Last year, they had next to no firepower
- Sep 25 Adam Schefter (mirror, Bluesky) The 49ers now are leaning toward not placing DE Nick Bosa on injured reserve in part because they’re running out of injured reserve spaces, per source.+3
- Sep 25 David Lombardi (X) The early dominance of the 49ers offense suggests that they have real leeway without Nick Bosa. Even a tumble to below-average defense would leave the 49ers in a similar boat as the…. Buffalo Bills
- Sep 25 David Lombardi (X) Nick Bosa is an obvious return candidate. If he’s available, he’s active. Therefore it makes more sense with him than others to NOT place him on injured reserve. Because he’d almost certainly burn one of the 8 return-from-IR spots
- Sep 25 David Lombardi (X) 7 players who can return from IR this season: Christian Kirk Austen Pleasants Nick Martin Nate Hobbs Sam Okuayinonu De'Zhaun Stribling C.J.

- Sep 25 David Lombardi (X) Assuming Romello Height is also out vs Arizona, the 49ers DE room without Nick Bosa for this game currently stands at: Keion White Ogbo Okoronkwo Khalid Kareem Viliami Fehoko Jr. (PS) Vincent Anthony Jr. (PS) White is a key piece to bolster the DT room, which is undergoing an injury rash of its own — but is probably needed more at DE now.

- Sep 30 David Lombardi (X) The 49ers' defense **LEADS THE NFL** in explosive play rate allowed. -just 2.6% of all snaps -just 3.6% of run plays -just 1.9% of pass plays This is the most key component. Generating/limiting explosives is king in the NFL and the 49ers are doing it even shorthanded. But they also must get off the field. And this is where generating turnovers is a critical next step. So far, the 49ers have only 2 takeaways, third-least in the NFL. It's obviously harder to notch these without a strong bookending pass rush — which likely won't be a thing until Nick Bosa returns — but Raheem Morris' unit will have to find a way. Beating some of the better opponents is likely reliant on this. Bend-but-don't-break is the 49ers' only defensive path at the moment, but it only works if the "break" part doesn't happen. And takeaways are one of the most surefire ways to ensure that

The 49ers have allowed only one first-half TD all season, and no first-half TDs over their past three games — despite missing Nick Bosa and numerous other D-linemen for the past two.
