Bosa doubtful, Williams out for 49ers’ Sunday game vs. Bears originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Defensive end Nick Bosa’s physical condition has improved but it still is not expected to be enough for him to suit up for the 49ers on Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
“He did a little bit more,” Shanahan said of Bosa.

Rookie running back Isaac Guerendo is set to start with McCaffrey and Mason sidelined with injuries. McCaffrey was placed on injured reserve this week with an injury to the posterior cruciate ligament of his right knee. The 49ers are expected to place Mason on injured reserve on…
