Nick Bosa will play for the 49ers against the Packers.

The 49ers announced on Friday that Bosa has cleared concussion protocol.
Bosa was ruled out of the game against the Cowboys due to a concussion. The 49ers held on for a 23-17 win after he collided with teammate D.J. Jones in the first half.

He is one of the top pass-rushers in the NFL and his health is a major storyline for San Francisco.

Bosa had a league-high 21 tackles for loss and added 52 tackles in 17 games. He was selected to the Pro Bowl for the second year in a row.

After missing all but two games in 2020 due to a tornACL, the Ohio State product has done all this.
The Defensive Freshman of the Year award was won by the No. 2 overall draft pick.

When Bosa is unavailable, San Francisco has solid defensive line depth with Arik Armstead, Samson Ebukam and Charles Omenihu among those who can pick up the slack.

Bosa's availability is important for the 49ers to slow down Rodgers and the Packers.
