49ers defense strains as Bosa, West, and others face injuries

The San Francisco 49ers are dealing with significant injuries on their defensive line, including Nick Bosa, who is expected to miss several weeks due to a calf injury. Bosa’s absence marks the sixth defensive lineman sidelined recently, alongside C.J. West and others. With the team's 2025 defensive line ranking last in sacks, rookie Gracen Halton is now expected to take on a larger role. Halton has played well in the first two weeks, with multiple pressures and an improving skill set recognized by the coaching staff. His performance will be crucial as the 49ers adjust their strategy moving forward.
