Shanahan Discusses Key Injuries and Top Player Performances After Latest Win

49ers Lose Nick Bosa for the Season Despite 3-0 Start

A Perfect Start with a Price

The San Francisco 49ers are 3-0.
They edged out the Arizona Cardinals 16-15 in their home opener.
But the celebration didn’t last long.
Star pass rusher Nick Bosa is out for the season with a torn ACL.

It’s a massive blow.
Bosa is one of the most dominant defenders in the NFL.
Replacing him won’t be easy.

Shanahan Stays Positive

Coach Kyle Shanahan is keeping a positive outlook.
He admits Bosa is irreplaceable.
But he believes the team can rally together.

The 49ers have depth on defense.
Mykel Williams, Bryce Huff, and Sam Okuayinonu are all stepping up.
Shanahan even praised Williams for his best game yet.

Rookie Corner Steps Up

One of the biggest plays came from a rookie.
He broke up a crucial third-down pass to Zay Jones.
That play helped seal the win.

Shanahan has praised the corner since training camp.
He says the kid never gives up on a play.
That attitude is already making a difference.

Growing Pains on the O-Line

The offensive line is still developing.
Rookie guard Connor Colby got his first start.
He battled through an injury and still held his ground.

Shanahan respected the toughness.
Starting at guard in the NFL isn’t easy—especially hurt.
Colby earned some serious credit from his coach.

Robinson Returns

The 49ers also get a boost this week.
Wide receiver Demarcus Robinson is back from suspension.
Shanahan is thrilled to have him available again.

With Bosa out, every extra weapon helps.

A Gritty Team Win

The Cardinals controlled possession for much of the game.
The 49ers had to grind it out.
The defense made clutch stops.
The offense drove down the field for the game-winning field goal.

It wasn’t pretty, but it was resilient.
This team finds ways to win.

Looking Ahead

Next up is a tough matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The challenge is real, but the 49ers won’t back down.
They’ll need the same grit and determination to stay unbeaten.

Bring it on, Jags.
