The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 1 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Nick Bosa returned to practice with his teammates. He was listed as a limited participant on Thursday but only got work in on the side with a trainer. The star pass rusher is expected to play on Sunday after signing a five-year, $170 million contract extension and ending a six-week holdout this week.
