Nick Bosa status uncertain for 49ers opener in Australia
Summary

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa remains questionable for the team's September 10 season opener against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia. Bosa has not participated in open practice for nearly a month while continuing his recovery from a torn right ACL suffered last September. Despite reports of a managed workload, the defensive end has spent recent days working on a side field rather than practicing with the team. Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris stated a plan is in place to get Bosa ready, though the player has not reached the 12-month recovery milestone typically recommended for his surgery. The 49ers are scheduled to travel to Melbourne on Wednesday for a week-long preparation period. Rookie defensive end Romello Height is expected to be available for the opener, while defensive end Mykel Williams remains on injured reserve.
