The San Francisco 49ers have announced that an MRI has indeed confirmed that second-year defensive end
Nick Bosa suffered a torn ACL in his left knee on Sunday against the New York Jets and will miss the remainder of the season.
The MRI truck that was scheduled to meet the team at The Greenbrier in West Virginia broke down last night. The 49ers had to send their injured players to a local hospital to undergo tests.
The results on both Bosa and defensive lineman Solomon Thomas were not yet available when head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters on Monday afternoon. Nothing official has been reported regarding Thomas' MRI results.
Bosa, 22, left Sunday's game after going down in pain during the first quarter. He was in obvious pain before being carted to the locker room. Bosa was quickly ruled "out" for the remainder of the game.
Shanahan was asked on Monday what the team can do to make up for the loss of Bosa.
"You can't do it with one guy. Everyone's got to step it up," Shanahan responded. "Everyone knows how great of a player Nick is. Teams do go through this. ... Yeah, when you lose a great guy like that, it's tough. But, you can look in our rooms and stuff and know that we've still got a lot of guys out there who can go play good football and give us a chance to win every game that we show up for."
The 49ers made Bosa the No. 2 overall pick last year. He racked up 42 tackles, nine regular-season sacks during his rookie campaign and added four more postseason sacks on his way to being named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Bosa had six tackles and a quarterback hit through two games this season, according to Pro Football Reference. He recorded five pressures this season and owned the defense's highest overall grade of 84.9, according to Pro Football Focus.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
