Overview
- Bosa missed his third straight practice Saturday because of soreness after being eased back into camp work following last season’s ACL reconstruction.
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the soreness is not viewed as a major setback and the team is evaluating why it happened before deciding next steps.
- Before sitting out, Bosa was limited to individual drills and occasional half-speed one-on-one work with left tackle Trent Williams rather than full team reps.
- The 49ers’ camp has been hit by numerous injuries, including wide receiver Ricky Pearsall’s season-ending knee surgery, which increases the pressure to get Bosa practicing consistently.
- Bosa’s history of three ACL tears and his status as a five-time Pro Bowler make his availability central to the 49ers’ pass rush, roster depth and short-term plans for mentoring younger edge rushers.
