Overview

  • Bosa exited late in the first quarter of San Francisco’s 16-15 win over Arizona after his knee bent awkwardly and he signaled a thumbs-down.
  • Kyle Shanahan and team sources said the MRI showed no damage to other ligaments or the meniscus, which improves rehabilitation prospects.
  • This is his second season-ending ACL injury, with a previous tear in his left knee in Week 2 of the 2020 season.
  • Through three games, the 27-year-old had two sacks, 17 tackles, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery for the 3-0 49ers.
  • Veteran Bryce Huff is expected to take on starting edge duties, with rookie Mykel Williams and Yetur Gross-Matos among those in line for larger roles as the team also contends with injuries to Brock Purdy and George Kittle.
