Several other San Francisco players missed practice on Thursday as well, according to ProFootballTalk. Defensive end Nick Bosa missed the session due to knee and calf injuries, while fullback Kyle Juszczyk sat out with a knee injury. Safety Marques Sigle and defensive tackle James Thompson were also absent due to ankle injuries. [1]

ProFootballTalk reported that Bosa has missed the past two games and is not expected to play this week. Head coach Kyle Shanahan stated on KNBR radio that he hopes Bosa will return sooner rather than later. [1]
