San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh spoke with reporters via Zoom on Wednesday and provided updates on two injured defensive ends — Nick Bosa and Dee Ford. Bosa has not played since Week 2, when he suffered a torn ACL. Ford only played in one game this season and has been sidelined since the opener due to a neck and back injury.
"Nick is in great spirits," Saleh said. "He's working his tail off trying to get through and get his leg's strength back and all that stuff. He feels great."
Ford's NFL future is unclear. He dealt with multiple injuries last season, which limited his availability. There have been mixed reports on the severity of his latest injury. The pass rusher has appeared in just 12 regular-season games since being traded from the Kansas City Chiefs to the 49ers.
While Bosa is undergoing his rehab in Southern California, Ford has been more visible to his teammates.
"And then Dee, we see him," Saleh said. "He's here, so we see him every day. He's working through his stuff. Not exactly sure where he is with regards to everything, but he's in great spirits. Both of them are in great spirits and working through their ailments, and trying to get better every day.
"I love that Dee Ford's around because he does have an amazing smile, and he's a hell of a personality, so we enjoy his presence. And then obviously Nick, we miss his presence being around the building. He's one of those lovable guys."
