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 was back with his teammates on Thursday. However, the now-very-rich defensive end did not practice. Instead, he got some work with a trainer in the weight room and on a side field as he ramps up to be ready for Sunday's game.

Offensive linemen Jon Feliciano (illness) and Trent Williams (vet day) did not practice on Wednesday but returned for Thursday's session.
