Bosa (hip) was a limited practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable against the Seahawks on Sunday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Bosa opened the week with consecutive DNPs due to a hip injury that he played through in Week 10 against the Buccaneers. However, he was able to return to practice Friday, albeit in a limited capacity, and it's likely that he'll work through the issue in Sunday's NFC West clash. Bosa has logged 32 tackles (22 solo), including 5.5 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through nine regular-season games.

Bosa played through his hip issue in the 49ers' Week 10 win over the Buccaneers and recorded four total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 49 defensive snaps.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Questionable for Week 10
Rotowire
Bosa (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Inman relays that Bosa was "extremely limited" during Friday's practice after suffering a hip pointer injury during Wednesday's session. That could mean Bosa is a true game-time decision for Sunday's game, and even if he does play, the 2019 first-round pick may operate on a limited amount of plays, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Either way, Robert Beal and Sam Okuayinonu should see increased snaps on defense alongside starting defensive end Leonard Floyd.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Produces double-digit sacks
Rotowire
Bosa finished the 2023 regular season with 53 tackles (34 solo), 10.5 sacks and two forced fumbles while starting all 17 games for San Francisco.
Bosa had a down year based on the lofty standards he set for himself by averaging 17 sacks per year over his previous two campaigns. The 2022 Defensive Player of the Year was not one of the five finalists for the award this season, further highlighting the superstar's underwhelming final results. Even with all of the attention opposing offensive lines direct Bosa's way, the premier edge rusher still coasted to double-digit sacks for the third consecutive season. With a lucrative five-year contract signed this past September, Bosa will be bookending a dominant San Francisco defensive line for the foreseeable future.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Held out of Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Bosa (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Though the 25-year-old collected a season-high three sacks and forced a fumble on just 38 defensive snaps last weekend versus Miami, his status is definitely worth monitoring as the week goes on.

49ers' Nick Bosa: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Bosa (groin) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Bosa logged his second limited practice in a row Thursday after missing last week's loss to Atlanta with a groin strain. The star pass rusher recorded 15 tackles and a team-high six sacks over the first five games of the season, so it's possible the 49ers are handling him with extra care as he works back from this injury. Either way, Bosa will have one more practice to increase his activity before Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
