San Francisco 49ers defensive end
Nick Bosa is scheduled to have surgery in Los Angeles this week to repair the torn ACL he suffered on September 20. Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that there was some additional cartilage damage in the knee, but the 49ers hope that won't hinder his rehab.
Bosa must pass a COVID-19 test before undergoing surgery. He is expected to return for next season.
Fellow defensive lineman Solomon Thomas, who suffered a torn ACL two plays after Bosa, is also slated to have surgery. The 49ers, however, want to wait until the swelling in his knee goes down before he undergoes any procedure.
San Francisco will push forward without their two defensive linemen and today will face the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, on the same field where both Bosa and Thomas were injured just a week ago.

Raiders likely to interview 49ers' DeMeco Ryans after NFC Championship Game, per report
Defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans' stock is rising, especially after helping knock off the top-seeded Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field this past weekend. Even though he is a first-year coordinator, Ryans is a candidate for multiple NFL head-coaching vacancies.
The Minnesota Vikings interviewed him on Sunday. The Las Vegas Raiders are also interested. That interview, however, probably won't come this week.
