Nick Bosa Fantasy Stats

According to Nick Wagoner, San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (knee) will be available for the Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The return of Bosa is a significant boost for the 49ers' defense heading into Thursday's game in Australia. Bosa has been working his way back from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 3 of last season. 49ers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris is confident that Bosa is going to be out there for the season opener. IDP managers should manage their expectations with this being his first game back since surgery. It wouldn't be shocking to see the 49ers be careful with Bosa during his first game since September of last year.

San Francisco 49ers All-Pro pass-rusher Nick Bosa (knee), who practiced with the team on Wednesday, said he is confident he will play in the Week 1 season opener next Thursday in Australia against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to Josh Dubow of The Associated Press. The 28-year-old oft-injured defensive end suffered a torn ACL early last year and was still feeling some soreness in his knee last month. It is good news that Bosa is practicing this week as he prepares for the season opener, but we have a sneaking suspicion that he will have his snaps limited next Thursday if he is active in Australia. That will obviously make him a big risk as a starter in IDP fantasy formats, and he will be a high-risk/high-reward defensive lineman in those same formats in 2026 as he comes off a season-ending knee injury. The five-time Pro Bowler and former Defensive Rookie of the Year had a league-high 18.5 sacks in 2022, but his sack numbers have declined in each year since then, culminating with just two sacks in three games played in 2025. When healthy, the former second overall pick from Ohio State has the skills to be one of the most disruptive pass-rushers in the league.

San Francisco 49ers edge rusher Nick Bosa (knee) will travel to Australia as the team prepares to face the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. Bosa tore his ACL in Week 3 of last season and, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, has been dealing with "knee tendinitis," missing most of training camp. With the star pass rusher traveling to Melbourne, it remains unclear whether he will be active, but it is a positive sign for his availability. In seven seasons with the 49ers, Bosa has recorded 64.5 sacks and has emerged as one of the NFL's premier pass rushers when healthy. He will be necessary for the 49ers against the Rams, who were the league's top-scoring offense last season.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said the team's plan is for defensive end Nick Bosa (knee) to return to practice on Wednesday, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. Bosa has been battling knee tendinitis as he works his way back from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 season in Week 3. However, the 28-year-old has been working on a side field through the early portion of this week and appears to be on track for a return to team activities in short order. Across 14 games in 2024, Bosa recorded nine sacks, 15 TFLs, and a forced fumble. When fully healthy, Bosa profiles as one of the better pass rushers in the NFL. However, he's now entering his age-29 season and is working with surgically repaired ACLs in both knees. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues may want to temper expectations for Bosa's production in 2026.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that edge rusher Nick Bosa (knee tendinitis) is doing better, with his symptoms improving. Bosa missed the past week due to knee tendinitis related to his ACL tear, which he suffered early last season. Shanahan said on Tuesday, "He's making a lot of progress. He's got a lot less irritation, soreness, tendinitis, whatever you want to call it, than he had last week. He's going in the right direction, and I see him similar to Christian [McCaffrey]." The 49ers reportedly struggled during their joint practice against the Los Angeles Chargers, getting beat consistently on edge sets and play-action passes. If Bosa can't return before they travel to Melbourne to face the Los Angeles Rams, they'll face a difficult challenge because of the Rams' outside zone runs and their effective use of play-action passes.

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (knee) is now considered week-to-week because of tendinitis in his surgically repaired knee, according to Ari Meirov. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the diagnosis Tuesday after Bosa had missed three straight practices with soreness. The 28-year-old is still making his way back from the torn right ACL that ended his 2025 season in Week 3 against Arizona. He recorded 17 tackles, two sacks and two forced fumbles in three games before the injury. Bosa had been working his way through training camp before the soreness became an issue, and the week-to-week designation means his return to a normal practice schedule will have to wait a little longer. There has been no indication from the team that this is another ACL injury, but tendinitis in the same knee certainly gives San Francisco reason to be careful with its star pass rusher.

San Francisco 49ers All-Pro defensive end Nick Bosa (knee), who is returning this year from a torn ACL, missed his fourth straight training camp practice on Monday due to "soreness," according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. The 49ers are already the most banged-up team in the NFL early in training camp, but the 49ers are most likely practicing extra caution with the oft-injured 28-year-old pass-rusher, who played in only three games in 2025. The five-time Pro Bowler can be a game-changer when he's fully healthy, but the 2025 campaign was his second season with fewer than five games played in a season due to injury. Bosa still has time to get ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season in Australia against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, but even if he's ready, he'll be a boom/bust defensive lineman in IDP fantasy leagues in what will be his eighth year in the NFL. Since leading the league with 18.5 sacks in 2022, Bosa has gone in the wrong direction with 10.5 sacks in 2023, nine sacks in 2024, and just two sacks last year.

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (knee) has yet to take part in team drills or one-on-one work at training camp, but he spent time with veteran offensive tackle Trent Williams doing some work on the side during one-on-one pass-rush drills on Friday to start getting back up to speed, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. The 49ers are easing Bosa back into the mix this summer after he suffered a torn ACL in his knee in Week 3 of last year. He avoided the Physically Unable to Perform list to open camp, but it's unclear when he'll be a full-go. "I can't tell he had an injury and came back from anything," Williams said. "Most people with an injury that catastrophic, you can see it with something like atrophy in the leg. Bosa looks better than he did before he got hurt." The Niners had the fewest sacks in the NFL in 2025, but getting a healthy Bosa back this year would go a long way in turning that around. The 28-year-old five-time Pro Bowler had a league-best 18.5 sacks in 2022 and has 64.5 sacks in seven NFL seasons, but he remains a big injury risk at D-line in IDP fantasy formats.

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (knee) and linebacker Fred Warner (ankle) have been cleared for training camp. Bosa tore the ACL in his right knee during Week 3 last season and finished the year with 17 tackles, two sacks, and two forced fumbles in three games. He will not open camp on an injury list, though the 49ers plan to bring him along gradually over the first few practices. Warner is further ahead in his recovery after fracturing and dislocating his right ankle in Week 6. He recorded 50 tackles, three pass breakups, and two forced fumbles in six games before the injury. General manager John Lynch said Warner is back at full speed. The return of both defensive leaders is a major boost for San Francisco, but Bosa's workload remains the situation to watch as camp begins.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said that he expects defensive lineman Nick Bosa (knee) to be back from his ACL tear for training camp this summer, according to David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard. Bosa had surgery last September for a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 3. Since the injury occurred so early in the year in 2025, the 28-year-old All-Pro pass-rusher has a shot to be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season, depending on how he looks in training camp and the preseason. Getting Bosa back will be a massive boost to what was a totally banged-up defensive unit last year. The five-time Pro Bowler is a high-end IDP fantasy pass-rushing option when fully healthy, but he's high-risk, high-reward because of his lengthy injury history. Bosa led the league in sacks with 18.5 in 2022, and he has 64.5 sacks in his 85 games played over his seven NFL seasons. Twice in his career, though, Bosa has played in fewer than five games in a single season due to injuries.
