What happened: Nick Bosa returned to practice last week, while George Kittle continued ramping up after joining the team's Australia trip. Kittle participated in San Francisco's first game-week practice there; Bosa sat out that session.
Why it matters: Their returns would restore a key receiving target and pass rusher after lengthy rehabilitations. San Francisco managed both workloads throughout camp, including a temporary shutdown for Bosa after knee soreness.
By the numbers: Bosa tore his ACL in Week 3 of the 2025 season. Kittle opened 2026 training camp on the active/PUP list during his Achilles recovery.
What to watch: The final injury report will provide their formal statuses, with both still needing to avoid a setback before kickoff.
