San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa won't play in today's Week 6 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. On Friday's game status report, the team listed Bosa as "questionable" with a groin injury that he suffered during last weekend's game against the Carolina Panthers.

"With Bosa sidelined, defensive end Charles Omenihu will likely start for the first time since [he] was acquired in a midseason trade from the Texans in 2021," wrote Branch.

Bosa missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was able to participate in Friday's lighter session before traveling from West Virginia, where the team stayed this past week, to Atlanta.

"He looked good, but everything's walk-through today too, so hopefully he would," head coach Kyle Shanahan said of Bosa on Friday. "... You've got to be smart with all that stuff. It's not bad enough to say he's out but you've got to be careful, always, with whoever has that, and obviously, especially Nick."

Bosa has started every game since missing most of 2020 with an ACL injury. The talented pass rusher has a league-leading six sacks to go along with his 15 tackles, six tackles for a loss, and 16 quarterback hits, per Pro Football Reference. In addition, Pro Football Focus has credited him with 31 total pressures, leading the NFL.

San Francisco will be without three defensive line starters—Bosa, Arik Armstead (foot, ankle), and Javon Kinlaw (knee)—against the Falcons. On Saturday, the team placed Kinlaw on the injured reserve list.

Leonard Floyd eager to pair up with Nick Bosa along 49ers D-line

Leonard Floyd is eager to begin working with his new San Francisco 49ers coaches and teammates. In free agency, the team signed the former Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams pass rusher to line up opposite star defensive end Nick Bosa, providing a boost to a defensive front that was inconsistent in 2023. Floyd matched his career-high with 10.5 sacks last season with the Bills, a statistic that would have tied with Bosa for the 49ers' team-high in 2023. In a recent interview with team reporter Lindsey Pallares, Floyd was asked how he believes his skillset complements Bosa's. "I believe our skill sets will complement each other well," Floyd responded. "We both been guys who've

Four reasons why the 49ers won't trade Brandon Aiyuk

While rumors have continued to swirl about the possibility of the San Francisco 49ers trading star wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk, some have held fast to the belief that the 49ers will not trade the player. Teams are calling about Aiyuk. Reportedly, the Jacksonville Jaguars were interested but felt the 49ers asking price was too high. And who could forget the talk of Aiyuk going to Pittsburgh when he fanned the trade rumor flames with a social media post about how he and Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin look alike? (Now that he mentions it, they do kind of look alike.) But when push comes to shove, will the 49ers really consider trading Aiyuk? I suppose if the price is right, they will. But they've invested so much in him, from taking him 25th overall in the 2020 NFL draft to

After Steve Wilks's dismissal, the San Francisco 49ers had several options for their vacant defensive coordinator position. Although former Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley was considered for the role, he ultimately joined the coaching staff as the assistant head coach under head coach Kyle Shanahan. He will focus on game plan preparations while offering his experience to the team. Nick Sorensen, the team's defensive pass game specialist, was awarded the defensive coordinator position. Shanahan opted for an internal candidate, valuing Sorensen's familiarity with the staff and the defensive system. When asked what qualities Sorensen demonstrated to prove he's ready to call plays for the defense, Shanahan explained, "He's worked with a lot of people
