Santa Clara, California. – Even as San Francisco 49ers It is expected that MRI will show that defensive end on Monday morning Nick Bosa A serious right knee injury was avoided, Bosa himself was already resigned as to what imaging would indicate.
This is why, when Kyle Shahanhan talked to Bosa after the victory Aerizona cardinal Sunday night, Bosa asked his coach to have the worst expectation: a torn ACL in his right knee.
As it turned out, Bosa, which had erected ACL in both knees, was correct. The tests revealed that he had a torn ACL, and he would recall the rest of the season, Shahanhan said on Monday afternoon.
“He was completely convinced that he did so,” said Shahnahan. “You can tell while walking on the field, see his face and talk to him last night how sure he is sure and knowing his body, and then an MRI confirmed it this morning.”
The 27-year-old Bosa will need a season-ending surgery once after swelling in the knee, and the niners will proceed without their defensive stallwarts and 2022 NFL Defense Player of the Year. A source told Kalin Kahler of ESPN that 49 residents would get about $ 7 million in salary cap relief in 2026 due to their insurance policy for season-end injury.
If there is a silver lining for Bosa’s injury, the ACL did not have a tear with damage to any other ligament, Shahanhan said.
Shahanhan said, “I was told that it is as clear as it happens.” “If you have an ACL, I was told that the way you want.”
Theoretically, that should be done for an easy recovery for Bosa, which has been first done through them. Bosa partially tore ACL in his right knee as a senior in high school and tore ACL in his left knee during the 2020 season week 2.
Bosa maintained his most recent injury against the cardinals in the first quarter of the game with about a minute. He was running in quarterbacks Kiler dead From the left and left with the left tack Calvin beyham When guard Evan Brown Came for a double-team and knocked on the ground.
Bosa’s right knee appeared strangely bending strangely as he went down and Murray’s pass became incomplete. Bosa then slowly moved to the sideline, where Niners’ training staff started working on it as he had placed on his back.
After a few moments, Bosa went to the medical tent, where he stayed for about five minutes before emerging. He spent the next few minutes with some stretching and high knees, but eventually made his way into the locker room.
Shahnahan said that Bosa did not give him a detailed description of how he was injured, but he suggested that it was a bad luck how his leg got stuck.
Shahanhan said, “How this happens only to those things, especially with ACLS,” said Shahhanhan. “They are in the air at the majority of time, and I know it was his right leg and he just caught it there and it went immediately.”
Although the initial trial for an ACL tear on the sideline did not immediately suggest that Bosa came to know what was happening in real time, television broadcasting broke Bosa, giving family members a thumb-down to family members to go to the locker room.
From there, he did not return to the game and was excluded in Haftime. After the game, Shahnahan said that the initial test of ACL on the sideline did not show a tear, but warned that Bosa and the team were still concerned about the possibility of serious knee injury.
Bosa relays those concerns for Shahnahan on Sunday night.
Shahanhan said, “He had a great idea of what we are going to find out today, but obviously, he has gone out.” “Nick can handle anything, and he is going to handle it as he always does, which will be very good. But obviously, he was not able to finish this year and how good it was so far.”
In the first two weeks before the injury, Bosa had two sacks, eight pressure, 15 tackles and 21.9% passes. He won the late sports sacks in victory Seattle Seahawks And this New Orleans Saints,
Bosa’s 142 quarterbacks are the highest in NFL dating in the 2021 season. Since Bosa entered the league in 2019, 49ers are regularly 65–32 and play with them and 6–12 when he has not played.
Without Bosa, a niners defense, with already eight new week 1 starters from 2024 to 2025, would be more dependent on young players and recent additions.

“You just don’t replace a man like Nick,” said Shahhanhan. “Everyone continues to do better in everything.
“When you lose your better players, it becomes difficult. But during this year, I hope all our players get better.
For potential business options, Shahnahan offered his general stance that Niners would always see in their options, but did not do as if he was in a hurry to take a step.
“We will look at trades as we always do, but there are trading options that make sense for you and another team,” said Shahhanhan. “You can’t just do that items to do it.”
Somewhere else on the injury front, Shahanhan said quarterback Brock Purdie (Toe) will continue to join the practice more on Wednesday, and the team will see if it has any limit before deciding whether it is ready for a big practice work.
Backup quarterback Mac Jones (Knee) is considered day to day, as is a defensive tack CJ West (Thumb), cornerback Renardo Green (Neck), comprehensive receiver Juan Jennings (Ankle, shoulders) and defensive end Williams (wrist).
