All of the 2026 offseason, Nick Bosa kept saying Joey Bosa is playing golf more than contemplating an NFL return. When the 2026 NFL season began, recovered Nick Bosa fell prey to a calf injury, a new injury, just two weeks into the season, requiring him to miss a few weeks. He will not play in the upcoming Week 3 game against the Arizona Cardinals, as per NFL Insider Ian Rapoport. Had he played in Week 3 against the Cardinals, it would have been a year for him since he suffered a torn ACL. Romello Height has an outside chance to play in Sunday’s Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Because the Buffalo Bills edge rusher is neither retiring nor joining any NFL team. That’s where Joey Bosa, his older brother, who remains a free agent and has not even announced his NFL retirement, comes into the picture! They also lost defensive end Sam Okuayinonu and tackle Alfred Collins to injured reserve after injuries sustained in practice during the first two weeks of the season.
Anyhow, is it possible? Speculation is open. He is expected to miss a few weeks. Now, his latest injury could become costly for the San Francisco 49ers’ defensive line. ESPN reports the team placed defensive tackle C.J. West on injured reserve this week.
But alas, before the game could come, a calf injury occurred in practice leading up to that very game. Nick Bosa suffered a calf injury in practice on Thursday.
