How much will rest help NaVorro Bowman and the rest of the 49ers defense

The San Francisco 49ers did their best to battle the Rams on Thursday Night Football but 147 snaps in five days is a lot to ask of a player. NaVorro Bowman is the only defensive player who played all 147. Dontae Johnson and Rashard Robinson both played 145, Ray Ray Armstrong was in for 134 and Jaquiski Tartt played 129.

Bowman, who along with Dekoda Watson and Earl Mitchell are the most senior (8th season) on the defense outside of Elvis Dumervil who has four more years under his belt.
