San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Nick Bosa is out for the rest of the season after tearing his ACL against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The news was first reported on X by NFL insider Ian Rapoport, sparking a wave of reactions from fans.
During the game, Bosa was rushing the quarterback when he was double-teamed and fell awkwardly, bending his right knee badly. He slowly walked off the field, visited the medical tent, attempted stretching, gave a thumbs-down, and headed to the locker room. Subsequent tests revealed a clean ACL tear. Bosa will require surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation process.
This injury is a huge blow to the 49ers defense, as Bosa is a five-time Pro Bowler and one of the NFL’s top pass rushers. Last season, he suffered an oblique injury versus the Seahawks in Week 11 and missed the following two games against the Packers and the Bills. Despite that setback, Bosa still earned a Pro Bowl spot for the fifth time in his career.
Bosa signed his current contract with the San Francisco 49ers on September 6, 2023. The five-year deal is worth $170 million, making him one of the highest-paid defensive players in NFL history. This contract runs through the 2028 season.
### Fan Reactions
Fans took to social media to share their thoughts on Bosa’s injury—some blending humor and support amid the disappointment:
– “Rough September for Trump supporters,” one fan wrote.
– “At least he’s free to spend some more time at Trump rallies,” another commented.
– “Bro’s been injured since he got paid,” a fan remarked.
– “So he’s got plenty of time now to work on his MAGA sermons,” another added.
– “Worst-case scenario for the Niners. Bosa was playing extremely well,” one said.
– “Damn, the 49ers can’t escape the injury curse,” another fan lamented.
– “Rest easy, we’ll see you in Valhalla,” a fan tweeted in tribute.
### San Francisco 49ers Week 3 Injury Report
Aside from Bosa’s ACL tear, the 49ers faced several other injury concerns during their Week 3 game against the Cardinals:
– Spencer Burford and Jordan Watkins missed the game due to knee and calf injuries.
– Jauan Jennings, Brock Purdy, and Connor Colby were listed as questionable, dealing with shoulder, toe, and groin issues respectively.

– Jordan James is expected to be available for Week 4 despite a finger injury.
– Trent Williams had a light practice week due to a knee issue but is also expected to play.
### Season Summary So Far
The 49ers have started the 2025 season strong, remaining undefeated through their first three games. They secured close victories against the Seahawks (17-13), the Saints (26-21), and the Cardinals (16-15).
While Nick Bosa’s injury is a significant setback, the 49ers will look to their depth and resilience as they aim to maintain their winning momentum in the coming weeks.
