Nick Bosa, unlike past years, is participating in the 49ers’ organized team activities to lead a revamped defensive line.
Nick Bosa #97 runs drills during San Francisco 49ers practice, Tuesday, May 21, 2024, in Santa Clara, Calif. SANTA CLARA – Nick Bosa lined up at left defensive end and promptly burst into the backfield. Relax, 49ers fans, this is not a salt-in-the-wound rehash of last Super Bowl’s fourth-and-1 play, in which Patrick Mahomes darted past Bosa to keep alive the Kanas City Chiefs’ championship-clinching drive.
Bosa was among the few who stayed late for extra work after the sun-splashed, hour-long session. He is leading the 49ers’ most revamped and arguably most important unit: the defensive line. Their makeover commands scrutiny, and even Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive end Charles Haley came out to watch them Tuesday.
The offseason’s only mandatory sessions come in the June 4-6 minicamp, followed by a break before the late-July training camp. Bosa, defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, wide receiver Deebo Samuel and fullback Kyle Juszczyk are incumbent starters who arrived this week for Phase 3 of the offseason program.Five years to the day since Bosa strained his right hamstring in OTAs as a rookie, he looked in regular-season form – and in tremendous shape, as always.
“Last year was kind of tough getting thrown in Week 1,” Bosa said. “That’s another reason I’m excited to be here, just to get practicing a little bit.” “It’s a little less workload than I’m doing back home, so it’s a good, active recovery for me and I’m getting football work in specifically,” Bosa said. “It’s not compromising my training and I get to meet all the guys. It’s a positive.”
Missing from Tuesday’s drills were defensive end Drake Jackson and probable starting defensive tackle Maliek Collins . Rob Beal lined up with Gross-Matos as the second-string defensive ends, followed by Alex Barrett and Raymond Johnson III on the third unit. Defensive ends Clelin Ferrell, Chase Young and Randy Gregory departed this offseason. .
