Nick Bosa Returns to Limited Practice as 49ers Open IR Windows

A limited Bosa return with opened practice windows gives the 49ers a clearer picture of their depth for Sunday.

Overview

  • Nick Bosa practiced in a limited role on Wednesday after missing five games with a left calf strain and said he feels “great” and ready to play.
  • Running back Christian McCaffrey and wide receiver Mike Evans did not practice Wednesday with McCaffrey expected to be re-evaluated Thursday and Evans continuing managed work for Achilles tendinitis.
  • The team opened 21-day practice windows for wide receiver Demarcus Robinson and cornerback Nate Hobbs so both can return to limited practice and be evaluated for activation from injured reserve.
  • Deebo Samuel remained sidelined with a hamstring injury and is unlikely to play this week, leaving the 49ers to rely on available receivers and backup plans against the Raiders.
  • San Francisco sits at 6-1 coming off the bye week and will use Thursday and Friday practice reports and medical clearance to finalize game-day roles while integrating defensive help such as DeForest Buckner.
