It sounds like rookie defensive end Nick Bosa is feeling pretty good after his 31 snaps against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. He is certainly doing better than he did coming out of his Week 1 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Bosa entered his NFL debut after recovering from an ankle sprain he suffered early during training camp. The setback forced the rookie to miss the entire preseason, and his outing in Tampa left him sore and unable to practice until the Friday before the Week 2 matchup in Cincinnati.

"He came out healthy, healthier than the week before," head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Monday. "Sometimes when you come back with a high-ankle sprain, you always get a few setbacks in those games. I know he did versus Tampa, but he didn't complain of any yesterday.

"He didn't play as much. We were playing him less on purpose, and then we took out most of our starters there in the fourth quarter.

"I think it worked out well. He was able to affect the game and get out healthier than he did the week before."

The 49ers, now 2-0, will get to work preparing for their home opener at Levi's Stadium on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The San Francisco 49ers probably won't make another big move at defensive end after agreeing to terms with Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos on two-year deals. However, before news of the signings broke, the Bosa family seemed to be hoping for brothers Nick and Joey to become teammates in Santa Clara. The brothers' mother, Cheryl Bosa, responded to an Instagram post speculating about the Los Angeles Chargers trading Joey Bosa to the 49ers. This would unite him with Nick Bosa and create a formidable family duo on the team's defensive line. Cheryl's response? "OMG! Do it for Mama [bear]," she shared via

The San Francisco 49ers have been active in the first week of free agency, but their work isn't done yet. After narrowly missing out on a Super Bowl victory last season, the team knows it owns a championship-caliber roster and believes a few strategic adjustments could make all the difference. According to Michael Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle, the 49ers looked into strengthening their defensive backfield on Thursday, aiming to secure a potential starting safety and possibly a cornerback. "With the safety market somewhat oversaturated, the Niners might be able to land a big name such as Justin Simmons (four

Chargers are open to trading Joey Bosa, but can the 49ers afford two Bosas?

By Marc Adams

Could the San Francisco 49ers end up with two Bosas on defense? According to Dianna Russini, Senior NFL Insider for The Athletic, "The Chargers are open to trade offers for many veteran players including Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack, per sources. There are teams interested but many around the league are willing to wait to see if the Chargers cut them soon." That sounds like, at minimum, an open door. Nick Bosa will be entering his sixth NFL season in 2024. In his NFL career, he's been named AP Defensive Rookie of the Year (2019), AP Defensive Player of the Year (2022), is a four-time Pro Bowler and has also been named All-Pro. But the 49ers have struggled to find someone on the opposite side of Bosa who can consistently get after the quarterback. Since the
