US Edition49ers’ Nick Bosa to Have Surgery Friday; GM Lynch Eyes Trade Replacement
Nick Bosa will have ACL surgery after a torn ligament in Week 3, ending his season and forcing the 49ers to rely on younger pass rushers, GM John Lynch said.
- San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa will undergo season-ending surgery on his right ACL this Friday following a knee injury sustained during Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals.
- Bosa’s injury comes amid mounting early-season injuries for the 49ers, though general manager John Lynch remains confident in the team’s depth and ability to rely on current players despite trade speculation.
- Lynch praised Bryce Huff, acquired earlier this year for his pass-rushing ability, and first-round pick Mykel Williams for their steady improvement and expected increased roles to help compensate for Bosa’s absence.
- Lynch acknowledged that while the preference is undoubtedly to have Nick Bosa on the field, the team’s insurance policy offers significant salary cap relief, providing nearly $7 million in credits to help offset the financial impact of his injury.
- The 49ers, currently 3-0, will host the Jacksonville Jaguars at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday aiming to maintain their unbeaten record despite losing a key defensive leader for the rest of the season.
