Raheem Morris says “Nick Bosa - he’s going. We aren’t hiding that,” when asked if he would play in opener vs. Rams. Via @LindseyThiry on X

What happened: The matchup is scheduled for Thursday in Melbourne. Bosa returned to full practice last week during his recovery.

Why it matters: Bosa played only three games in 2025 before the knee injury ended his season. His availability restores a former Defensive Player of the Year to Raheem Morris' defense.

By the numbers: Bosa's return comes nearly a year after he tore his right ACL in Week 3 of the 2025 season.

What to watch: The final injury designation and Bosa's practice workload will be the next indicators before Thursday's game.
