SANTA CLARA – The long week was good for 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman.
The 49ers’ defense was on the field for 79 snaps in the team’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 17. Four days later, the 49ers looked worn down in a 41-39 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night.
Bowman, 29, said he feels a lot more fresh heading into Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals after missing the final 12 games last season after sustaining a torn Achilles tendon.
“I feel great. I feel 100 times better,” Bowman said on Wednesday.
