Nick Bosa’s return gave the 49ers a shot of adrenaline both in preparation as well as on game day against Pittsburgh.
For as much angst that went into the holdout of edge rusher Nick Bosa and his potential availability for the regular season opener Sunday, it couldn’t have gone much better than it did for the 49ers in their blowout road win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Bosa wound up playing 35 snaps — only tackles Javon Hargrave and Arik Armstead played more — with two tackles and had none of the five sacks of Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett. The 49ers were dominant across the board up front, with Hargrave and Armstead collapsing the pocket from the interior. Armstead, who didn’t record a tackle, nonetheless got a consistent push up the middle. Hargrave had a sack, with second-year end Drake Jackson getting three and Kerry Hyder Jr. getting one.
After Hargrave, Armstead and Bosa, the snap counts were as follows along the defensive front: Ferrell , Jackson , Javon Kinlaw , Kevin Givens , Hyder and Austin Bryant . “Watt’s as good as it gets on the edge, especially in a loud atmosphere, especially early in that game, but he kept battling and I think he’ll do better next week,” Shanahan said.
