The 49ers' pass rush dominated in their blowout win over the Steelers in Week 1, and did so with Nick Bosa getting plenty of rest.

He'll be on the field a lot more when they face the Rams in Week 2.

Bosa played just over 50 percent of the defensive snaps against Pittsburgh just days after ending his holdout and becoming the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history with his five-year contract extension. Head coach Kyle Shanahan, though, anticipates a return to the reigning Defensive Player of the Year's normal workload in Los Angeles.

Asked in his Monday conference call if Bosa will be full-go on Sunday, Shanahan replied:

"Yeah, I mean, I think he will be. I know he got 35 plays. He was full-go on those, he played like he was full-go. We just wanted to take into account the recovery and things like that after. So, we were really happy to be able to get a win and play the way we did with reaching the play count or not exceeding the part that we had planned on. And hopefully he'll spend these two days recovering. I'm sure he is going to be sore today, sore tomorrow just from doing that and hopefully he will be fresh enough to come out and start getting to go at practice Wednesday, Thursday and Friday."

Bosa played something of a supporting role to the rest of an extremely deep 49er defensive line, with Drake Jackson (three sacks), Javon Hargrave and Arik Armstead all impressing along with Clelin Ferrell.

But Shanahan was still happy with what he saw from Bosa, who recorded three pressures according to Pro Football Focus, expressing admiration for his play in the run game. The 49ers gave up only 41 net rushing yards.

"I thought he did a good job, especially for his first time back. I thought he played real well in the run game. Didn't get a ton of opportunities in the pass game with the center going the other way or some chips but forced that holding call on one and we ended up declining it because [Talanoa Hufanga] Huf got that tackle for the loss of five. But I thought it was a good first day back, got out healthy and ready to get him back into the swing of things this week."

And he agreed with the assessment that the threat of Bosa at defensive end created opportunities that his teammates consistently capitalized on.

"Oh yeah, that's been the case really since Nick's been here. And it's really why we wanted to go out and get Javon. Thought that would make a big difference," added Shanahan. 

"It's been so great to get Armstead back and have the offseason he has had and just being healthy really for the first time because he struggled with that all last year. So both of those guys just playing at that level and Drake, the offseason he had, it was real cool to see him get some benefits from it and some success in the game."

Shock NFC West result should help 49ers guard against Week 2 complacency

It was a reminder not to take them lightly.
