What happened: San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa is making progress in his recovery from a torn ACL, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported, relaying details from Nina Wagoner. Bosa has said he is "pretty far along" in the rehab and could be ready in time for training camp.

Why it matters: Bosa is the centerpiece of San Francisco's pass rush, and his timeline shapes the ceiling of the defensive front heading into the 2026 season. A return by training camp would erase one of the biggest question marks hanging over the Niners' offseason and let the defense plan around a healthy anchor rather than a recovery timetable.

What to watch: Watch for an official 49ers timeline as camp nears, and whether Bosa opens with full participation or is eased back into team drills.
