There’s no way around it. And now that he’s out for the preseason (and possibly some of the regular season), the “Nick Bosa is injury-prone” narrative is back in full swing. OK, easy there. This particular injury isn’t going to fit that narrative.Yes, the Bosas have a history of injuries and it’s been a concern. This isn’t going to prove either point. Yes, Nick Bosa had his abdominal/groin injury in college. Yes, he tore his ACL in high school. Those injuries can support the narrative if you wish. You can use the hamstring injury during OTAs if you must. Leave this injury out. And just for clarification: before his abdominal injury in college Womens Nick Bosa Jersey , Bosa had two seasons with double-digit starts. So the ACL in high school, durability for two years, then the abdominal injury. Now, let’s go to the NFL and this particular setback. Did Bosa suffer this in the open field while running down a halfback? No. Did Bosa gang tackle someone and break his arm by smashing it against them? No. Did Bosa dive for a fumble and shatter his collarbone just by the sheer impact of the earth? No. Bosa had a 200+ pound teammate fall onto his leg. Kyle Shanahan mentioned the knee had some action in the incident as well. Getting out of a drop like that without a ding seems unlikely. Kyle Shanahan seems to support this notion when he was asked about it during his press conference:When a large football player lands on someone’s leg for damage, that doesn’t make the victim injury prone. It makes them someone at mercy to the laws of physics. It’s a huge disappointment that this injury has to happen to Bosa, but the good part is it’s not a full-blown high ankle sprain. Now this could go somewhere else and Bosa doesn’t come into the lineup until Week 10 Joshua Garnett Jersey , or he misses a couple of games, if at all. It’s an unfortunate set of circumstances, but circumstances that don’t fit the Bosa is injury-prone narrative. It could have been a lot worse like Shanahan says. When Shanahan mentions Bosa, it brings fears of the alternative where instead of an ankle, it’s a torn one ligament 49ers fans are familiar with. Thankfully that wasn’t the case. Whether Bosa is injury-prone or not is yet to be decided. This high ankle sprain is unfortunate, but not part of the argument. Is it a lock that the team will take a linebacker?"According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle Womens Dante Pettis Jersey , the San Francisco 49ers are hosting New Mexico State LB Terrill Hanks. The 6-2, 242-pounder bench pressed 225 pounds 21 times at the NFL scouting combine with a 35 1/2 inch vertical leap and a 4.92 in the 40-yard dash. He didn’t run the 40-yard dash at his Pro Day due to a tight hamstring.Hanks is another player Senior Bowl the 49ers are familiar with. We said Hanks was one of the players that improved his stock the most during the Senior Bowl week, and how he’d be a good fit during the middle rounds. Hanks had over 100 tackles each of the past two seasons at New Mexico State.Many thought prior to the combine that Hanks would test very well athletically:That wasn’t the case. Some of that may be credited to his injury. Hanks would likely backup Kwon Alexander while contributing on special teams.
