Nick Bosa returns to 49ers practice ahead of regular season debut

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa participated in team drills on Wednesday as the team completed its final local practice before departing for Australia. Bosa, who has been recovering from an ACL injury, stated that he feels confident about playing in Week 1. George Kittle, Kyle Juszczyk, and Mike Evans also returned to the practice session. However, the team remains shorthanded at cornerback as Renardo Green continues to deal with a lingering hamstring injury, and Jack Jones was limited to side field work. Other players missing Wednesday's session included Jacob Cowing, Luke Gifford, Gracen Halton, Romello Height, and James Thompson Jr. The 49ers are managing these injuries while preparing for their upcoming opening matchup.
