Nick Bosa Out for 49ers vs. Cowboys After Being Diagnosed with Concussion
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa will be out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys due to a concussion, the team announced.
Bosa suffered the injury late in the second quarter with 1:15 left before halftime. His head had collided with 49ers teammate D.J. Jones. Bosa had three tackles and accounted for half a sack prior to exiting.
Bosa has returned to his dominant form in 2021 after suffering a torn ACL just two games into the 2020 season, finishing with six tackles and zero sacks.
The 24-year-old had 52 total tackles, 15.5 sacks and four forced fumbles this season.
Bosa has proved he can be an elite player when healthy, earning the Defensive Rookie of the Year award after being taken No. 2 overall in the 2019 draft. He tallied nine sacks in his first year to go with 47 tackles, one forced fumble and one interception. His 24 hurries were also fifth in the NFL.
The Ohio State product now must focus on staying healthy as he looks to take the next step in his career.
San Francisco will have trouble replacing him on the field, but Samson Ebukam and Arden Key will likely take on bigger roles going forward.
