John Lynch Says Nick Bosa Will Be Ready for Training Camp as 49ers Expect Key Defenders to Return

The definitive update reshapes offseason planning by reducing urgency for stopgap edge moves.

Overview

  • Speaking at the NFL Scouting Combine, the 49ers GM said Bosa will "certainly" be ready for training camp after last season's ACL tear.
  • Bosa missed most of 2025–26 following a Week 3 injury against the Cardinals, and the defense ultimately collapsed in a 41–6 divisional loss to the Seahawks.
  • Lynch said Keion White, Mykel Williams, and Alfred Collins are also expected to be healthy for camp, with White recovering from ankle surgery after being shot.
  • The statement upgrades earlier "on track" language to a firmer commitment on Bosa’s return timeline.
  • Medical clearance alone does not guarantee peak edge play, so the team will gauge Bosa’s explosion and stamina once he resumes full activity.
