The 49ers Begin Final Stretch of Practice Before the Opener with Nick Bosa Still Sidelined
Kyle Shanahan said both stars will split reps this week as the 49ers manage recovery timelines before their season opener in Australia.
On Monday, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed George Kittle and Nick Bosa will practice this week before the team departs for Australia for its Sept. 10 season opener.
Both players are rehabilitating from significant injuries sustained last season: Kittle recovering from a torn Achilles, while Bosa manages tendinitis in his surgically repaired knee.
To manage their workload, Shanahan said "We don't want them to go three days in a row," balancing activity across the three practices before departure.
The 49ers remain confident both will be ready for the Los Angeles Rams matchup, though Shanahan prefers determining availability before the team travels Wednesday.
Following the three-practice stretch, the team departs Wednesday for Melbourne, Australia, where they will hold a light workout Saturday before next week's season-opening practices.
