SANTA CLARA \u2013 Nick Bosa emerged happy from his first practice in a month. His surgically repaired right knee had passed a key test, complete with a couple of tense moments.<\/p>\n

Because of that, Bosa is confident he can play in the 49ers\u2019 season opener next week in Australia against the Los Angeles Rams.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf after every day of football practice you were this happy, it\u2019d be an easy job,\u201d Bosa said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Life hasn\u2019t been easy, however, since last Sept. 21, when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, just as he did 11 years ago as a high school senior in Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a long road. There\u2019s some stuff I dealt with that patella tendon,\u201d Bosa said. \u201cI kind of ramped it up a little too fast with the football stuff a month ago and they kind of told me to back off. I\u2019ve just been trying to get it as strong and get as confident in myself as I can, to where I can rip the Band-Aid off and go into team stuff today.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce you go into team (drills), there\u2019s no reservations, no compensation here, no governor. I felt that today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bosa plans to ice his legs during their overnight flight to Australia. Judging from the media\u2019s 20-minute access window, the 49ers\u2019 marquee defensive end didn\u2019t appear to favor his leg. While commending teammates during drills, Bosa wore a support sleeve on his right knee.<\/p>\n

Although Wednesday marked his first full-team work, it was not a padded practice. To gear up for it, though, Bosa said he\u2019s been running \u201ctwo-a-days\u201d and \u201ctrying to expose my knee to a lot of volume and to try and get that tendinitis strengthened.\u201d<\/p>\n

OTHER HEALTH UPDATES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tight end George Kittle also looks primed to make himself available against the 49ers\u2019 long-time NFC West rivals. He has not missed a practice since his Achilles repair was cleared to come off the Physically Unable to Perform list Aug. 23.<\/p>\n

Joining them back in practice were wide receiver Mike Evans (groin), fullback Kyle Juszczyk (finger), and cornerback Ephesians Prysock (shoulder).<\/p>\n

Restricted to conditioning on a side field were cornerback Renardo Green (hamstring), wide receiver\/returner Jacob Cowing (hip), and defensive linemen Romello Height (ankle) and Grayson Halton (ankle).<\/p>\n
