San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa left no doubt Friday that he intends to play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers after taking part in Friday's practice.
On Wednesday, Shanahan indicated he expected Bosa to play Sunday, joking that the only way that wouldn't happen is if Bosa showed up with a"beer belly." That did not happen and the Niners were sufficiently pleased with how Bosa returned after a 43-day holdout.
"It is not really trying to put a limit on what he can do," Wilks said."It's just trying to get a feel, and once we get into the game and then go from there." The waiting game made for some tense moments, up to and including wondering whether a deal would even get done, Bosa acknowledged.
