San Francisco 49ers Injury Report: Nick Bosa, Trent Williams Out For Week 14 Game vs. Chicago Bears


The San Francisco 49ers will be without a handful of key players when they host the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

We already knew that running backs Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason would be unavailable for the Week 14 showdown. Both of those stud ball carriers have been placed on injured reserve. But the injury woes don’t stop there for San Francisco, which will also be without star pass rusher Nick Bosa and future Hall of Fame left tackle Trent Williams. Those are two huge blows for a 49ers team that is coming off a butt-kicking on Sunday Night Football in Week 13 at the hands of the AFC East champion Buffalo Bills.

I’m not sure which absence would be more damaging for the 49ers.

Nick Bosa is a four-time Pro Bowl edge defender who was the Associated Press’ Defensive Player of the Year in 2022. The 27-year-old Bosa has 60.5 career sacks in 78 games. Through 10 games this season, Bosa has collected seven sacks, 10 tackles-for-loss, and 17 quarterback hits. The guy is an absolute menace and our viewing experience as Bears fans will be better with him on the sideline.

Being without Trent Williams is notable, too. The 36-year-old left tackle has made the Pro Bowl in each of the last 11 seasons and could make a case to make it 12-in-a-row if he can get back on the playing field. Williams, who has been named a first-team All-Pro offensive lineman in each of the last three years, was officially ruled out by the team on Friday.

The Week 14 Bears-Niners game kicks off at 3:25 p.m. CT on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium. Both teams come into the game riding the struggle bus. Chicago is riding a six-game losing streak, while San Francisco comes in with a 5-7 and in last place in the NFC West. Yikes.

    Marina braces for Golden Gate Bridge fireworks show, massive crowds


    San Francisco is preparing for its major July 4th fireworks display on Saturday night, an event expected to draw massive crowds as pyrotechnics are launched directly from the Golden Gate Bridge for only the third time in history.

    Will crowds flood Marina?

    What we don’t know:

    To pull off the event, the Golden Gate Bridge, major roadways, and key parking lots at Marina Green and Crissy Field will be shut down. 

    Several neighborhood streets will also be blocked off, creating significant traffic hurdles. Officials are strongly advising spectators to utilize public transit due to severely limited parking.

    Local residents in the Marina District have expressed concern over the impending chaos as crowds flood the neighborhood.

    “I’m a little worried, yeah,” said nearby resident Michael Zoboski. “I think it’s gonna be definitely hectic. I don’t know where people are going to park, it seems like it’s taking up a large amount of the streets up here. I think it’s going to be a little crazy.”

    To manage the influx, access to many surrounding neighborhoods will be strictly limited to local residents. 

    Checking IDs

    What we know:

    Law enforcement officers will be checking IDs and questioning drivers to verify residency. According to the district supervisor, there will be 10 police officers deployed per block in the Marina.

    Road closures will stretch from Baker Street to Van Ness Avenue between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. 

    Portions of Fisherman’s Wharf are scheduled to shut down even earlier, starting at 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon, with much of that neighborhood also restricted to local access. The Golden Gate Bridge itself will close to traffic starting at 9 p.m.

    Additionally, roads will be closed in the Presidio and Richmond District. To encourage the use of public transportation, Muni is providing special shuttles to help transport spectators to the viewing areas.
