Overview
- The 49ers did not place Nick Bosa on the active/PUP list at the start of training camp and he has taken part in team drills, indicating he has been cleared to practice.
- San Francisco plans a phased reintegration for Bosa, starting with individual work and gradually adding team activities as coaches and medical staff monitor his recovery.
- Linebacker Fred Warner also avoided the active/PUP list and is available at camp, while the team moved George Kittle, Mykel Williams, Isaac Guerendo, and Alfred Collins to active/PUP.
- Bosa’s health matters to more than the field because he signed a five-year, $170 million extension and is owed roughly $23 million in 2026, making this season important for contract and cap planning.
- The moves come after a 2025 season that saw heavy injuries and an NFL-low 20 sacks, so Bosa’s return, Kittle’s uncertain Week 1 status, and careful roster management will shape the 49ers’ pass rush this fall.
