The 49ers are hopeful that Bosa (ACL) will be back in time for training camp ahead of the 2026 season, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bosa underwent surgery to address his torn ACL in late September. The defensive end is progressing well in his recovery and is anticipated to be all set for the 2026 season. Before missing most of the 2025 campaign, Bosa logged 52 tackles (33 solo), including 9.0 sacks for one forced fumble, and one pass defensed for an interception over 14 games in the 2024 season. If the 28-year-old can set his body right, the ceiling of the 49ers' 2026 defense will surely climb.

The 49ers placed Bosa (knee) on injured reserve Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Bosa torę his ACL in last Sunday's win over the Cardinals and will miss the remainder of the season. He's slated to undergo surgery Friday, as the star edge rusher suffered a clean tear of the ACL, paving the way for a relatively straightforward rehab process. Bosa turns 28 years old next month and will wrap up the 2025 campaign with 17 tackles (nine solo), including 2.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across three regular-season contests. He was on his way to yet another big season on the stat sheet.

Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Monday that Bosa is out for the season with an ACL injury, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Matt Barrows of The Athletic, Shanahan noted that there was no additional damage to Bosa's knee beyond an ACL tear, but the star defensive end nonethless faces a lengthy recovery period. In Bosa's absence, Bryce Huff, Mykel Williams and Yetur Gross-Matos are candidates to see added roles in the 49ers defense going forward, according to Vic Tafur, Dianna Russini and Matt Barrows of The Athletic.

Bosa (knee) is feared to have suffered a season-ending ACL tear during Sunday's win over the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bosa appears set for surgery, despite initial reports indicating that he had avoided an ACL tear after being forced out of Sunday's 16-15 win over the Cardinals. The 49ers haven't yet officially confirmed the severity of Bosa's injury, but expectations are that the team will have to proceed forward without the the five-time Pro Bowler. Schefter reports that Bosa suffered a "clean" ACL tear, which will at least provide him a clearer rehab process as he works to get fully healthy for the 2026 season.

Bosa (knee) did not tear his ACL when he got injured during Sunday's 16-15 win over the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The defensive end suffered the injury in the first quarter and did not return. After the win, San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said tests would be needed to determine a diagnosis, per Barrows. The five-time Pro Bowler has 17 tackles (nine solo), including 2.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery on the young season.

Bosa (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bosa suffered the injury late in the first quarter, and after being evaluated by trainers in the locker room, it has been determined that the injury is severe enough for him to not return Sunday. With Bosa out and Mykel Williams (wrist) questionable to return, the 49ers will need to lean on Yetur Gross-Matos, Bryce Huff and Sam Okuayinonu at defensive end.

Bosa is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a knee injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bosa appeared to suffer a knee injury late in the first quarter after being hit hard on a double team, per Wagoner. Bosa was in the blue medical tent before departing for the locker room, where he will be evaluated to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Yetur Gross-Matos, Sam Okuayinonu and Bryce Huff will see more snaps at defensive end for as long as Bosa is out of the game.

Bosa recorded nine total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 26-21 win over the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old was one of three 49ers to get after the quarterback during the Week 2 win, taking down Spencer Rattler in the fourth quarter. Bosa has had an impressive start to his seventh season in the NFL, having now tallied 15 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble over two games. He's expected to remain one of the league's most productive edge rushers as the 49ers take on the Cardinals in Week 3.

Bosa recorded six solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Bosa was a major problem for Seattle, recording a strip sack of Sam Darnold in fourth quarter, recovering the fumble and effectively ending the game. The defensive end has registered at least 9.0 sacks in each of the last four seasons and five of his six total campaigns in the NFL, and he has now picked up where he left off to open 2025.
