It seems the 49ers<\/a> can\u2019t go more than a few weeks without a crushing injury. The 3-0 team, riding high after a narrow 16-15 win over the Arizona Cardinals<\/a>, learned Monday that star defensive end Nick Bosa tore his ACL<\/a> and will miss the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

Bosa, also known as a Smaller Bear, hurt his knee during Sunday’s game against the Cardinals. He left the field slowly and gave a thumbs-down sign, which wasn’t a good sign. Unfortunately, the doctors confirmed that Bosa tore his ACL, a serious knee injury, and will miss the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

For 49ers, Nick Bosa’s Injury Is More Than Bad Luck<\/h2>\n

49ers Lose More Than Just a Star<\/h3>\n

When 49ers Bosa got hurt, the team’s defense wasn’t as good at pressuring the quarterback. They went from getting to the quarterback over 50% of the time to less than 30%.<\/p>\n

Bosa’s injury hurts the team a lot because he’s not just a great player; he also helps his teammates play better.<\/p>\n

This injury also hurts Bosa personally. He will lose a lot of money – over $400,000 – because he won’t be able to play in games this season. But don’t worry, Bosa has a big contract that will keep paying him a lot of money over the next few years.<\/p>\n

Bosa has had knee problems before. He’s had two ACL injuries already, and now he’s had another one.<\/p>\n

Richard Sherman, who once shared the locker room with Bosa, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s heartbreaking, it’s heart-wrenching,\u201d he said. \u201cIt’s not about money\u2026 You don’t want to see a guy get injured, work so hard to be ready for the season, and get injured, and it’s a huge blow to this team.” [Timestamp – 2:24]<\/em><\/p>\n
