49ers Edge Cardinals on Walk-Off Field Goal as Nick Bosa Exits With Knee Injury

The 49ers report initial checks showed no clear ACL damage pending an MRI.

Overview

  • Bosa left late in the first quarter after a third-and-9 rush and was ruled out, giving a thumbs-down as he headed to evaluation.
  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan said sideline tests did not point to an ACL tear but emphasized further imaging is underway and noted concern over how Bosa feels.
  • San Francisco won 16-15 on Eddy Piñeiro’s 35-yard kick as time expired to improve to 3-0.
  • With Bosa sidelined and other starters out, the defense and rookies delivered key stops, including late plays from Fred Warner and nickelback Upton Stout.
  • The injury compounds absences for George Kittle, Brock Purdy and Jauan Jennings, leaving near-term plans dependent on Bosa’s test results.
