was not on the practice field in Youngstown, Ohio with his San Francisco 49ers teammates on Thursday. The rookie defensive end is still dealing with some soreness from his NFL debut on Sunday, a game where he recorded his first quarterback sack as a pro.
Bosa wants to play on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. He is focused on playing, but the coaches probably know that rest might be the best bet to ensure he is healthy enough to do so. The 49ers have another practice scheduled for Friday and will then travel to Cincinnati.
It turns out, Bosa got a little dinged against the Buccaneers, according to general manager John Lynch, who
joined 95.7 The Game on Thursday.
"He was sore coming out, and that was somewhat to be expected," Lynch said on the "Joe, Lo and Dibs" show. "He had done a really nice job through his rehab, and when you have high-ankle sprains, sometimes you get dinged, and it can affect you for a little bit. He did early in the game. On the first play, he actually planted the wrong way. He didn't roll it, but it hurt him a little bit.
"Nick battled through that and played at a really high level. He found out the hard way that (Buccaneers quarterback) Jameis (Winston) is hard to bring down, and could have potentially had three (sacks), and did a great job to come away with one.
"The thing I love about Nick is he was more upset about the two that he let get away than the one that he got. He did come out a little sore. Traveling and all that kind of amplified that a little bit. He's doing a really good job kind of getting that out of there.
"We'll see what he does today. He'll work kind of limited throughout the week, but he's fully intended on playing. As for the snaps, we'll kind of see how that goes."
As stated, Bosa didn't end up practicing on Thursday, but it sounds like Lynch remains hopeful the rookie pass rusher will at least be available in some capacity on Sunday. We'll know more when the team reveals its official injury report and projected availability of its injured players on Friday.

Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are

The San Francisco 49ers have officially made three picks in the 2024 NFL Draft. On Friday night, the team selected cornerback Renardo Green from Florida State and guard Dominick Puni from Kansas, adding to Thursday's first-round pick, wide receiver Ricky Pearsall from Florida.
There has been considerable speculation surrounding potential trades leading up to and during the draft, particularly regarding wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. As of two days into the 2024 NFL Draft, both players remain on the 49ers' roster, indicating it's increasingly likely they will still be around for the 2024 season.
Speaking to reporters after the second day of the draft, head coach Kyle Shanahan discussed the challenges of keeping the 49ers' talented nucleus of
