However, the Niners could have two players potentially ready for Week 1, while a third player might not be too far away once the new season gets underway. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">49ers tight end George Kittle tore his right Achilles in the Jan. 11, 2026, wild-card win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Defensive end Nick Bosa is working back from successful surgery to repair a torn right ACL suffered in Week 3 of the 2025 season, and defensive end Mykel Williams\u2019 2025 season ended in Week 9 after he tore the ACL and lateral meniscus in his right knee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">NBC Sports Bay Area\u2019s Matt Maiocco shared the latest on where the Niners feel all three players are in their injury recovery<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe 49ers sound very confident that Nick Bosa will be available for Week 1, and there is also optimism that George Kittle will be ready for the opener following his Achilles tear,\u201d <\/span>Maiocco said in an April 12 video on his YouTube channel <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThere is belief that, even if Mike Williams is not ready for Week 1, the injury should not keep him out long term. He could begin the season on the PUP list, which would potentially set up a return around Week 5. That is the type of roster juggling that takes place.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It will be interesting to see if the Niners have their two star players right from the start of the season, as the 49ers have put a lot of effort into building a team that can contend this 2026 campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Will the Niners Pursue Joey Bosa to Bolster Pass Rush?<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Speaking of Bosa, there\u2019s speculation that the 49ers could be a landing spot for his older brother, Joey Bosa. The older Bosa <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">spent<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> last season with the\u00a0<\/span>Buffalo Bills <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, has emerged as a potential target. In 2025,\u00a0<\/span>Bosa earned a 79.3 overall PFF grade <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, ranking 17th among 115 qualified edge defenders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He particularly stood out as a pass rusher, posting an 88.7 grade in that area, while his run-defense grade lagged at 54.6. Over the season, Bosa generated 47 pressures, including five sacks, 12 hits, and 30 hurries. He also contributed 22 solo tackles and forced five fumbles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nonetheless, recently, 49ers general manager John Lynch put cold water on that speculation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cI know that would make Mama Bosa happy, but I don\u2019t know if we can afford him,\u201d Lynch said (h\/t\u00a0<\/span>David Lombardi of the SF Standard <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>49ers Insider Gives Update on Joey Bosa<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, David Lombardi, who covers the 49ers for the San Francisco Standard, speculates whether the Niners could wait after the draft to see whether they see eye to eye with Bosa on his asking price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThere is a nonzero chance the 49ers exit the draft without picking up a defensive lineman projected to make the 53\u2011man roster, leaving holes in their rotation,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>Lombardi said on April 4 on his YouTube channel <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. \u201cIf that happens, they might turn their attention back to free agency with a different price point in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.49erswebzone.com\/v\/leyaAi\/content\/media\/cache\/article-782x440-ac15e6ef844850d29f3310d70c451464.webp\" alt=\"Kyle Shanahan reveals key 49ers injury updates after win over Cardinals |  49ers Webzone\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cRight now, they don\u2019t see eye to eye with Joey Bosa, but after the draft, when signings don\u2019t count against the compensatory formula, the 49ers could potentially reach an agreement with someone like Bosa.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Eduardo Razo Eduardo Razo is a sports writer for Heavy.com, covering the NFL, MLB, and college football.
