49ers' Bosa cleared to play vs. Packers

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa has cleared concussion protocols and will play in Saturday's matchup against the Green Bay Packers, the team announced Friday.

Bosa suffered a concussion during the first half of San Francisco's 23-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys in the wild-card round and didn't return to the game.

The defensive end's 2020 season was cut short due to a torn ACL, but he returned to Pro Bowl form for San Francisco in 2021.

During the regular season, Bosa tallied 40 solo tackles, four forced fumbles, and 15.5 sacks - the fourth-most in the NFL. He had one tackle and 0.5 sacks in one half against Dallas before exiting with the injury.
