49ers Star Nick Bosa Sidelined for Weeks with Calf Injury
The defensive end's absence comes at an unfortunate time for the undefeated San Francisco 49ers.
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa is expected to miss "a few weeks" after suffering a calf injury during practice on Thursday. The injury comes at a particularly difficult time for the team, as Bosa had recently returned from a torn ACL that sidelined him for most of the previous season.
Bosa, 28, has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. The 49ers are currently evaluating whether to place him on injured reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games before he could return to the field.
The timing of this new injury is especially unfortunate given Bosa's history. He tore his ACL during the 49ers' Week 3 game last season, an injury that required surgery and ended his season prematurely. He has recorded three solo tackles this season for the currently undefeated 49ers squad.
