Nick Bosa returns to practice as 49ers gear up for preseason game

Summary

Nick Bosa participated in practice for the first time in over two weeks on August 16, 2026, as the San Francisco 49ers prepare for their second preseason game against the Chargers. Bosa, who had been sidelined with knee tendinitis, is considered to be making progress in his recovery. Head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed that there are no major concerns regarding Bosa's health as he prepares for the season opener against the Los Angeles Rams on September 10, 2026. A fully healthy Bosa would be crucial for improving the 49ers’ defensive performance, following a last-place finish in sacks last season.
