Watching Nick Bosa test his arm and wrist on the sideline had to be a scary moment for San Francisco 49ers fans. Bosa missed most of last season after suffering a torn ACL. The last thing anyone wants to see is the talented pass rusher miss more time this season.

San Francisco is 2-3 and hopes to rebound after the bye week from its three consecutive losses. The team needs Bosa down the stretch if it hopes to turn things around.

The third-year defender briefly left the game after sacking Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray on Sunday. Fans watching the broadcast saw Bosa nursing his right arm as he headed off the field. The defensive end returned to the game, though.


Bosa was asked about the injury after the game, and the defender assured everyone that he was fine.

"It's just [Murray] fell on my arm, but it's all good," Bosa shared with reporters. "Just sore."

Was that a scary moment for the pass rusher, perhaps thinking the injury may have been more serious?


"No. It hurt, but it's all good," Bosa responded. "Yeah, it's all good."

There was one controversial play in the game where it looked as though the Cardinals committed offensive holding in the end zone. By rule, if that was the case, it should have resulted in a safety for the 49ers. Matt Barrows of The Athletic asked Bosa if he and his teammates thought that should have been the call.


"Isn't that the rule?" Bosa asked.

"I think so," responded Barrows

Much to the amusement of reporters in the room, Bosa nodded and said, "I'm not getting fined."

The officials seemed to believe that the hold of Arik Armstead started outside of the end zone, though, which would not result in a safety. Obviously, Bosa questions that but is smart enough not to criticize the officiating publicly.
