Bosa (hip/oblique) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Bosa didn't practice all week after sustaining hip and oblique injuries in San Francisco's Week 11 loss to the Seahawks, and he won't travel with the team to Green Bay as he rehabs his oblique, per Inman. The 49ers' pass-rush unit could struggle without Bosa in Week 12, as the 27-year-old has posted a team-high 7.0 sacks through 10 games this season. Yetur Gross-Matos is likely the top candidate to replace Bosa on San Francisco's defensive line Sunday.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Might not play Week 12
Rotowire
Bosa (hip) has about a 50-50 chance to suit up Sunday against the Packers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
The defensive end sustained the hip injury during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks and did not return to the game. San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Monday that, "there's just as good of a chance for him to not play as play," per Wagoner. If the 2022 NFL Defensive Player of the Year can't suit up, Robert Beal and Yetur Gross-Matos are next in line to replace him.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Won't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Bosa (hip) will not practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Bosa played through his hip issue in the 49ers' Week 10 win over the Buccaneers and recorded four total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 49 defensive snaps. Wednesday's DNP is likely precautionary, but the All-Pro defensive end could be in jeopardy of missing Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks if he can't upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Good to go Sunday
Rotowire
Bosa (hip) is active for Sunday's Week 10 battle against the Buccaneers, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Bosa was questionable heading into the weekend due to a hip injury. Though he's going to suit up Sunday, the veteran defensive end could log less defensive snaps than usual, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Bosa has 4.5 sacks through eight contests, putting him on pace for his lowest total since 2020, when he played in only two games due to injury.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Questionable for Week 10
Rotowire
Bosa (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Inman relays that Bosa was "extremely limited" during Friday's practice after suffering a hip pointer injury during Wednesday's session. That could mean Bosa is a true game-time decision for Sunday's game, and even if he does play, the 2019 first-round pick may operate on a limited amount of plays, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Either way, Robert Beal and Sam Okuayinonu should see increased snaps on defense alongside starting defensive end Leonard Floyd.

Rotowire
Bosa (elbow) was a full participant during Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Dallas.

Rotowire
Bosa (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Bosa popped up on the 49ers' injury report Wednesday with a rib injury, and he was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Produces double-digit sacks
Rotowire
Bosa finished the 2023 regular season with 53 tackles (34 solo), 10.5 sacks and two forced fumbles while starting all 17 games for San Francisco.
Bosa had a down year based on the lofty standards he set for himself by averaging 17 sacks per year over his previous two campaigns. The 2022 Defensive Player of the Year was not one of the five finalists for the award this season, further highlighting the superstar's underwhelming final results. Even with all of the attention opposing offensive lines direct Bosa's way, the premier edge rusher still coasted to double-digit sacks for the third consecutive season. With a lucrative five-year contract signed this past September, Bosa will be bookending a dominant San Francisco defensive line for the foreseeable future.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Held out of Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Bosa (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Bosa opened Week 14 prep as a spectator during Wednesday's session, after head coach Kyle Shanahan previously said the star pass rusher is dealing with a "hamstring irritation" that the team will work through, per David Lombardi of The Athletic. Though the 25-year-old collected a season-high three sacks and forced a fumble on just 38 defensive snaps last weekend versus Miami, his status is definitely worth monitoring as the week goes on.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Bosa (groin) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Bosa logged his second limited practice in a row Thursday after missing last week's loss to Atlanta with a groin strain. The star pass rusher recorded 15 tackles and a team-high six sacks over the first five games of the season, so it's possible the 49ers are handling him with extra care as he works back from this injury. Either way, Bosa will have one more practice to increase his activity before Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
