49ers' Nick Bosa gets bloodied while not even in game

During the first quarter of the NFC Championship game between the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles, Niners edge rusher Nick Bosa was cut on his ankle during a punt play.

Bosa had just returned to the sideline after forcing the Eagles to punt. While watching Philadelphia punt, Eagles corner Josh Jobe sprinted up the sideline trying to cut off 49ers gunner Tarvarius Moore. However, Moore shoved Jobe out of bounds and sent him flying. As Jobe's leg swung wildly, his cleat clipped the ankle of Bosa who immediately fell to the ground in pain.

Bosa did not miss any plays tending to the injury, but a camera angle from the Fox broadcast of the game clearly showed Bosa's ankle bleeding through his sock.
