Nick Bosa practicing in Melbourne. DC Raheem Morris says they’re not hiding it - he’s playing. https://t.co/XV9Prh72cD Via @LindseyThiry on X

What happened: Bosa practiced Tuesday in Melbourne, days after returning to full work following a knee tendinitis setback. The session continued his ramp-up for Week 1.

Why it matters: The decision settles a major lineup question before Thursday night’s opener. Bosa’s return restores an edge rusher whose past two seasons were both shortened.

By the numbers: Bosa played 17 games across the past two seasons and recorded 11 sacks.

What to watch: Watch Bosa’s snap count in his first game since last September.
