49ers Expect Nick Bosa to Play Season Opener in Australia vs. Rams
Nick Bosa and George Kittle are expected back as San Francisco opens with a lineup question at left guard.
- San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa will play against the Los Angeles Rams in the season opener on Friday in Melbourne, marking his return from a right ACL injury sustained last season.
- The Niners finished 2025 with 20 total sacks, the lowest in the NFL, and are counting on a healthy Bosa to revitalize their defensive front after he recorded 64.5 sacks in his career.
- Star tight end George Kittle is also expected to play in his first game since rupturing his right Achilles tendon in January, with offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak expressing confidence in his recovery.
- Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris confirmed Tuesday that Bosa will play, stating, "He's going out there," after the player participated in full practice at AAMI Park in Melbourne.
- Roster uncertainty persists at left guard, where rookie Carver Willis and second-year player Connor Colby have rotated, while the Niners prepare for a Rams offense featuring MVP Matthew Stafford, Davante Adams, and Puka Nacua.
