San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided a hopeful update regarding Nick Bosa’s return from a calf injury. Bosa has been sidelined since late September but Shanahan indicated the defensive end may be close to returning before the team’s Week 8 bye. Bosa had recorded seven tackles and a quarterback hit in his two games this season prior to the injury, which followed a torn ACL that ended his 2025 season.
