Nick Bosa Forced to Leave 49ers Practice With Hamstring Injury

Kyle Shanahan must have really angered the football gods, because it seems like the San Francisco 49ers can't go a week without losing a key player to injury.

Rookie defensive end and No. 2 overall pick Nick Bosa was the latest to get bitten by the injury bug, as he was forced to leave practice early after suffering a hamstring injury.

Nick Bosa was clutching his right hamstring following a pass rush drill. He appears to be done for the rest of practice. We’ll have updates on who practiced, who didn’t later this afternoon. #49ers

If there was one knock on Bosa, the consensus top player in the draft whom the 49ers selected after Arizona opted for Kyler Murray at pick No. 1, it was his durability, as he missed almost all of his final season at Ohio State with a core injury. This has to be concerning for anyone in the red and gold.

Bosa health has to be of the utmost importance for San Francisco this offseason. If he's healthy, then he's a 10-year starter who will make Pro Bowls regularly.

Here are my Top 10 #FFIDP at DE:

1. Nick Bosa, San Francisco 49ers

Slam dunk talent. Slam dunk landing spot. When you draft Bosa you're pretty much drafting a DE1. With the other talent on that D-line, I expect him to hit the ground running.@MyFantasyLeague pic.twitter.com/bzY1F5gAqV

A revamped 49ers defense, including Kwon Alexander in the linebacking corps and Dee Ford on their defensive line, has a lot riding on Bosa's health. The best course of action is to shut him down until he's 110% healthy.
