49ers' Nick Bosa 'Confident' of Playing in Season Opener After Contract Holdout

San Francisco 49ers edge-rusher Nick Bosa ended his lengthy contract holdout Thursday after agreeing to terms on a five-year, $175 million deal with $122.5 million in guarantees.

Bosa, who sat out all preseason and training camp, returned to practice on a limited basis Thursday before fully participating on Friday.
