49ers' Nick Bosa knocked out of Cowboys game after suffering concussion in second quarter
ARLINGTON, Texas — The 49ers have lost a Pro Bowl staple of their defense for the second half of their wild-card game against the Cowboys.
Edge rusher Nick Bosa suffered a concussion after fellow San Francisco defensive tackle D.J. Jones ran into him during a second-quarter play.
Bosa had just engaged from Cowboys right tackle La’el Collins – who drew a flag on the play – when Jones’ lower body collided in motion with Bosa’s helmet. Bosa sat on the field for minutes while examined by team trainers. He eventually walked off the field under his own power, flashing a thumbs-up to the crowd.
But after an evaluation in the sideline medical tent, Bosa headed toward the locker room in the final minute before halftime.
