The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 1 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Nick Bosa was back with his teammates on Thursday. However, the now-very-rich defensive end did not practice. Instead, he got some work with a trainer in the weight room and on a side field as he ramps up to be ready for Sunday's game.
