Nick Bosa is ready and good to go for this weekend’s divisional round matchup.
Heading into the week, there was some significant concern that the two-time Pro Bowler would be unable to suit up on Saturday night because of what looked to be a serious head injury during the 49ers’ Wild Card win over Dallas.
But on Friday evening — just over 24 hours before San Francisco’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers — the Niners cleared Bosa from concussion protocols.
He has no injury designation heading into tomorrow night.
The #49ers today announced that DL Nick Bosa has cleared concussion protocol and has no injury designation against the Green Bay Packers.

Through 17 regular-season games this year, Nick Bosa logged 52 tackles, 15.5 sacks, 32 QB hits and a league-leading 21 tackles for loss. The Niners’ Week 3 loss to the Packers was one of his few games without a sack this year.
Green Bay also activated two of their star pass rushers — Za’Darius Smith and Whitney Mercilus — off the injured reserve earlier today.
Tomorrow night’s divisional round matchup will kickoff at 8:15 p.m. ET.
