The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams will face each other in Week 1 in the first-ever NFL game in Melbourne, Australia.
And, it sure seems possible that 49ers star pass rusher Nick Bosa will be ready.
On Tuesday, 49ers GM John Lynch said that the plan is for Bosa to practice Wednesday.
“Nick worked on the side field yesterday and I think that’s the plan today. Nick has been doing great work on the side. The plan is for him to practice on Wednesday. He’s been tracking very well,” Lynch said on KNBR.

Bosa played just three games in 2025 as he suffered a torn ACL in September, and he has been working hard to be ready for the season opener.
In August, however, it was reported that Bosa was dealing with tendinitis in his surgically repaired knee, although Kyle Shanahan said it was a normal thing when it comes to ACL recovery.
The plan is for the 49ers to leave on Wednesday to fly to Australia, giving themselves a few days to get adjusted before the Week 1 game, which will be at 5:35 p.m. Pacific time.
The Rams, however, are flying out one day before the game in an interesting decision.
