49ers return Nick Bosa and George Kittle to practice ahead of Australia trip

The San Francisco 49ers will incorporate Nick Bosa and George Kittle into team practice sessions this week before departing for their upcoming game in Australia. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the team is managing the workloads of both veterans to ensure their readiness for the trip. Bosa is participating in a maintenance plan following earlier issues with tendinitis, while the staff continues to evaluate Kittle’s availability for the overseas match. The team is also using these three sessions to assess the roster, including the role of newly added offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson. Shanahan noted that the condensed travel schedule has accelerated the timeline for final roster decisions. Drew Greenlaw remains on a maintenance program as the team prepares for the departure.
