With San Francisco 49ers star EDGE and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa missing practice today and his status up in the air for Week One against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a contract dispute, it’s worth going back to look at how the 49ers have faired without Bosa.
Bosa tore his ACL in Week 2 of the 2020 season, meaning the 49ers played the rest of that season without him, going 5-9 without their star defender. In 2021, Bosa missed a Week 6 game against Atlanta with a groin injury, one that San Francisco lost 28-14.
