Nick Bosa plans to practice on Wednesday, a move that’s got everyone talking after 49ers General Manager John Lynch confirmed the edge rusher wants to get back on the field. This comes as Week 1 looms large, and Bosa’s recovery from a torn ACL last September has hit a snag with tendinitis that’s lingered through training camp. It’s a huge moment for Bosa and the team, but the path back has clearly been anything but smooth.
The “Wednesday Plan” Has Its Roots In A Setback
Lynch spoke on KNBR Tuesday and gave us the clearest timeline yet for Bosa’s return to the field. Apparently, Bosa was already putting in the work “to the side” on Monday, and the plan was for him to do the same on Tuesday. But the big news? Lynch said Bosa “wants to get out on the field” for practice come Wednesday. You gotta love that fire from a guy itching to get back, right? The team has been working “in conjunction” with Bosa on the “best plan” for his return, and Lynch pointed out that Bosa has been doing “great work to the side.” It sounds like they are trying to be super careful, but Week 1 is staring them down. Lynch also highlighted that “really good players are very in tune with their body,” and Bosa “is certainly that.” It’s a good sign that Bosa himself is driving this, especially since he’s “come back from ACLs before.”
ACL Recovery Hits A Nasty Speed Bump
Here’s where it gets a little rough. Bosa tore his ACL last September, which means this recovery has been a grind. He didn’t even practice for most of training camp. And it’s “disappointing” because he was “all ready” when he came back to camp. But then, when he “tried to get out there on the field,” things “got stirred up a little.” What happened? He got “tendinitis,” which, according to Lynch, “often happens in an ACL recovery.” That’s a frustrating setback for any athlete, especially when you’re pushing to be ready for the season opener. They “pulled back” and got everything feeling better. Now, Bosa has a new “plan of really building him up, and then putting him back on the field.”
So, Wednesday is a big day for Nick Bosa, to say the least. Everyone will be watching to see how he looks when he finally gets back on the practice field. With Week 1 rapidly approaching, every snap counts, and how he handles this tendinitis after his ACL recovery will be the story everyone is tracking.
