It was probably one of the biggest things I&#8217;ve been excited for is to walk in the building and see all the guys. I know they had my back. Players have each other&#8217;s backs in this league because it&#8217;s a business at the end of the day. It was very cool to see everybody.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              49ers QB Brock Purdy on Steelers CB Patrick Peterson predicting INT Sunday: &#x27;We&#x27;ll see&#x27;            <\/li>\n<li>              Niners edge Nick Bosa agrees to terms on record 5-year, $170M extension            <\/li>\n<li>              Nine last-minute predictions for 2023 NFL season: Josh Allen wins MVP, 49ers win Super Bowl LVIII            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But now the Niners and Bosa, who was a limited participant in Thursday&#8217;s practice and fully participated Friday, must turn their attention to ensuring the workload he receives Sunday matches what he&#8217;s physically ready for after missing all of training camp.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, head coach Kyle Shanahan said he expected Bosa to play Week 1 and joked that the reigning AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year only wouldn&#8217;t take the field if he showed up with a &#8220;beer belly.&#8221; Seeing Bosa during the last two practices made it clear that wasn&#8217;t the case after a long holdout.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He looked exactly how we were expecting him to look,&#8221; Shanahan said Friday. &#8220;Looks in real good shape. Looks ready to go. We got an idea how we&#8217;re going to use him and I think he&#8217;ll do all right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With a quick turnaround for game action, how many snaps will Bosa play against the Steelers?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to say,&#8221; defensive coordinator Steve Wilks said Thursday, per the team transcript. &#8220;I think each player&#8217;s different, and I say that in a meaningful way, he&#8217;s different. So it is not really trying to put a limit on what he can do, it&#8217;s just trying to get a feel and once we get into the game and then go from there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However much Bosa plays, the pass rusher can now shift his focus fully to football after inking a new deal heading into his fifth season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m definitely thinking it&#8217;s going to be a weight off my shoulders,&#8221; Bosa said. &#8220;And just be able to really not think about all the negative thoughts that come along with playing this game and be free out there and play for one reason &#8212; to win games.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/niners-de-nick-bosa-says-weight-off-shoulders-with-new-extension\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After signing a five-year, $170 million extension on Wednesday, ending his extended holdout, San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>49ers DE Nick Bosa says &#x27;weight off&#x27;
