Nick Bosa Dealing with a Concerning New Injury
Shanahan said both stars are being handled cautiously, with the 49ers expecting them back for Week 1 after recent soreness and tightness.
- On Tuesday, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided injury updates on defensive end Nick Bosa and running back Christian McCaffrey, confirming both stars are expected ready for the September 10 season opener in Australia.
- Bosa is week-to-week recovering from a torn ACL with tendinitis, while McCaffrey missed Monday practice due to tightness. Shanahan described both absences as precautionary to prevent serious injury during camp.
- Amid roughly 20 players sidelined this season, a conspiracy theory blames an electrical substation next to Levi's Stadium for injuries. The theory has been repeatedly rejected by medical experts and the NFL Players Association.
- General Manager John Lynch previously dismissed substation concerns as "a big nothing burger," while former safety Donte Whitner urged stopping attributions to bad luck. "You have to stop calling it bad luck," Whitner said.
- The 49ers face the Tennessee Titans on Thursday in their preseason opener, with key veteran George Kittle monitored as the team pursues Super Bowl aspirations heading into the regular season.
