Bosa believes his chances of playing in the 49ers\u2019 next home game on Oct. 19 against the Commanders is \u201cpretty darn likely.\u201d If that dream scenario doesn\u2019t work out, Bosa could play the following week against the Falcons on Oct. 25.<\/p>\n
Two weeks ago, Bosa strained his calf while warming up for practice. Until a few days ago, Bosa hadn\u2019t participated in 49ers practices but started improving.<\/p>\n
The defensive end will not travel with the 49ers to Seattle this week as he plans to stay in the Bay Area and work out with the intent of returning to practice next week. Bosa is still looking to collect his first sack of the season, but the 49ers\u2019 coaching staff was impressed with his play through the first two games of the season.<\/p>\n
Mike Evans injury update<\/p>\n
Bosa isn\u2019t the only 49ers star dealing with injury. Mike Evans sustained a rib injury against the Cardinals in Week 3.<\/p>\n
Despite having broken ribs, Evans unexpectedly played last week against the Broncos. General manager John Lynch said he told Evans that doctors relayed he would be able to return for Week 5 against the Seahawks, but the veteran wide receiver insisted on suiting up versus Denver.<\/p>\n

Evans, who did not participate in Thursday\u2019s practice, was limited Friday. <\/p>\n
Against the Broncos, Evans posted 76 yards on five receptions while playing through injury. No one would blame the wideout for missing Week 5, though the matchup is arguably one of the most important games of the season for the undefeated 49ers. <\/p>\n
