49ers' Nick Bosa: Not yet ready to return to game action
Rotowire
Bosa (knee/calf) has been ruled out for Monday's Week 6 matchup against the Commanders, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Though the decision was made not to put Bosa on IR, he's now set to miss his fourth straight game. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said early this week that the veteran edge rusher could have a chance to play against Washington, but Bosa didn't end up practicing at all. While it's not out of the question that he could return Week 7 in Atlanta, it wouldn't be surprising if San Francisco opts to hold Bosa out for that contest as well given that the 49ers have a bye Week 8.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Doesn't practice Thursday
Rotowire
Bosa (knee/calf) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Despite having an extra day of rest between Week 5 action and the start of Week 6 prep, Bosa has yet to mix into drills since Week 2, missing the last three games in the process due to knee and calf injuries. If he isn't able to practice Friday and/or Saturday, he likely isn't a candidate to suit up Monday against the Commanders.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Could return Week 6
Rotowire
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Bosa (calf) "has a chance" to play against the Commanders next Monday night, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Bosa has missed the 49ers' last three games while tending to a calf injury. While he could return against Washington, Bosa's practice participation during Week 6 prep will ultimately determine whether he's cleared by medical staff to suit up. Mykel Williams and Romello Height will continue to get more reps at defensive end for as long as Bosa is sidelined.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Won't return Week 5
Rotowire
Bosa (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Bosa is hoping to suit up for the 49ers' Week 6 game against the Commanders, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. With the star defensive end still sidelined for the Week 5 divisional showdown, Ogbo Okoronkwo should start against the Seahawks on Sunday.
Bosa (calf) is unlikely to be ready for the 49ers' Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Bosa remains week-to-week with a calf injury and is not expected to be ready for Sunday's divisional matchup. The star defensive end will likely once again ride the bench as Ogbo Okoronkwo starts across from Keion White against the Super Bowl 60 champs.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Bosa (calf) won't play this coming Sunday against the Broncos, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
After Bosa strained his calf at practice last Thursday, Shanahan told Matt Barrows of The Athletic that the pass rusher would miss "a few weeks," so a second consecutive absence in Week 4 comes as no surprise. The 49ers started Ogbo Okoronkwo and Keion White at defensive end during Sunday's win versus the Cardinals and likely will continue to lean on the duo until Bosa is able to return to action.
Bosa (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said that Bosa is expected to miss "a few weeks" with a calf issue, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. It is unclear if Bosa will need to miss the minimum of four games that placement on IR would require. Even if he must miss more than four games, the team may not place the 28-year-old on IR anyway because it has almost reached its limit of eight designated-to-return players.
