"The performance staff has a plan for all these guys," defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said on Friday when asked about Bosa's situation. "So, whether they pull them just because his snap count got high is on them, but from all indications, he's fine."
Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed after practice that Bosa had a "maintenance day," giving him the practice off.

Shanahan later said Dwelley was bothered by his foot.
