The San Francisco 49ers are 2-0 through the opening two weeks of the 2026 NFL season, but the team could consider adding another experienced edge rusher after an injury to Nick Bosa.

Nick Bosa hurt his calf during practice and is projected to be sidelined for multiple weeks. His absence is expected to include San Francisco’s next game against Arizona.

One possible addition is Joey Bosa, Nick Bosa’s older brother and a veteran pass rusher. The 49ers could explore bringing Joey Bosa into the organization while Nick Bosa recovers. The potential move would come as San Francisco begins the season with an undefeated record through two games, but faces the loss of one of its pass-rushing options for several weeks.
