Raheem Morris on Nick Bosa’s availability: ‘He’s going. We’re not hiding that.’

If there were any doubts about Nick Bosa suiting up in Australia for the San Francisco 49ers, defensive coordinator Raheem Morris put those to rest in his most recent press conference.

Morris told the media, “He’s going [out there]. He’ll be there. We’re not hiding that.”

We’re a week removed from Bosa saying he had a great day after opening up about his recovery. It sounds like Bosa and the 49ers have seen everything they’ve needed to during this most recent set of practices.

Bosa was in full pads for Tuesday’s session:

The 49ers entered this season with their defense centered on Nick Bosa. There was already immense pressure on his shoulders. After Sam Okuayinonu broke his foot and landed on the Injured Reserve, Raheem Morris may rely on his star edge rusher even more.

The question is, how soon will that be the case? You don’t want to put too much on Bosa’s plate too soon. It’s a long season where he’ll be doing a lot of the heavy lifting for the edge rushing group. It may take Bosa a few games to play himself into football shape.

Offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak told the media he’s “Super impressed with how he’s looked, considering the injury and how quickly he got back onto the field” about George Kittle. Kubiak added that Kittle’s workload is still to be determined.
