Story summary

Nick Bosa, a key defensive end for the San Francisco 49ers, is expected to miss his third consecutive game due to a calf strain as the team prepares to face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Bosa, however, remains optimistic about returning for the team's upcoming home game against the Washington Commanders on October 19th or potentially in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons on October 25th. He has been working out locally while the rest of his teammates travel to Seattle and is hopeful to make a comeback soon.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Mike Evans also faces injury concerns after sustaining broken ribs during a game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3. Despite this, Evans insisted on playing last week when the team faced the Denver Broncos, contrary to medical advice that initially suggested he would be ready for Week 5 games like his match against the Seahawks. General Manager John Lynch stated that doctors had informed the team that Evans could return for Week 5, but the veteran insisted on playing versus Denver.
