Nick Bosa, who took a typical day off on Wednesday, suddenly showed up on the injury report for Thursday’s practice, completely sidelined by a calf issue. This isn’t just a regular tweak for their best player, especially when Kyle Shanahan has already hinted at a potential management plan for Bosa this week, coming off a season-ending knee injury. Bosa has been on the injury report with that knee issue since the season’s start, but this new calf problem is a fresh blow.
Bosa’s Health is the Big Question
The 49ers have every reason to be cautious with Bosa. He did not participate in Thursday’s session, which is a massive red flag. Shanahan will give an update on Friday, but seeing Bosa with a new injury designation, particularly a calf, while already managing a lingering knee problem, has to be a huge concern for the Niners faithful. They’ve done something similar, being careful with Mike Evans early in the season, trying to keep their key guys healthy. But two injuries for your defensive star? That’s rough.
Other Niner Updates
On a slightly brighter note, Dre Greenlaw, Christian McCaffrey, and Trent Williams all returned to practice after missing Wednesday due to Veterans Day. Good to see them back out there. However, Romello Height (hand) and Mike Evans (hip) both missed their second straight day of practice. Evans, despite being in his first year with the 49ers, is known for being able to miss a full week of practice and still suit up on Sunday. That’s a good thing, especially since San Francisco has already been hit with multiple wide receiver injuries.
What’s next for the 49ers? All eyes will be on Shanahan’s Friday press conference for any news on Bosa’s calf. His health is paramount for their season going forward.
