"You don't just replace a guy like Nick, coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday in conference call with local reporters. Everyone's got to keep getting better at everything, the same thing I'd be preaching if we did have Nick. When you lose your better players, things get harder. I expect all our players to get better as it goes, and that's stressed that much more when you lose a great one like Nick."
"It's the second time Bosa has had nearly an entire season wiped out by an ACL injury. A more extensive tear in Week 2 in 2020 cost Bosa the rest of the season, a year in which the 49ers went 6-10 and also included injuries to quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, tight end George Kittle and wide receiver Deebo Samuel. Bosa led 49ers defensive linemen in snaps played through the first two games against Seattle and New Orleans, playing 105 of 123 snaps (88.5 percent)."
"Rookie defensive tackle C.J. West came out of the game with a fractured thumb that will need surgery, but Shanahan sounded as if his absence could be minimal. He'll have a chance at the end of the week with a cast, and if not, he should be good the following week, Shanahan said. Listed as day to day were quarterback Mac Jones (knee), defensive end Mykel Williams (wrist) and cornerback Renardo Green (neck)."
The 49ers lost edge rusher Nick Bosa for the season with a torn ACL, a significant setback atop the NFC West. Bosa's second major ACL injury follows a 2020 tear that ended that season; through the first two 2024 games he had played 105 of 123 snaps (88.5 percent). His sack totals have declined from 18.5 in 2022 to 10.5 in 2023 and nine last season while missing three games. Rookie C.J. West suffered a fractured thumb likely needing surgery but could return soon with a cast. Multiple players, including Mac Jones, Mykel Williams and Renardo Green, were listed day-to-day.
