SANTA CLARA – Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave sure enjoyed his debut in a 49ers uniform at Levi’s Stadium, albeit for a preseason affair.“Still, I felt the energy as soon as I went out there. It was a great feeling,” said Hargrave, the 49ers’ prized acquisition in free agency after he defected from the Philadelphia Eagles.Hargrave and the 49ers’ defensive line await an even greater feeling: Nick Bosa joining them and ending his training camp holdout.It’s believed Bosa’s agent and the 49ers’ brass are in the throes of contract talks, with the outcome still expected to yield the NFL’s largest-ever contract for a non-quarterback.

Friday’s game against the Chargers and Bosa’s brother, Nick, is the last before the 49ers essentially switch into regular-season mode.With under three weeks until the Sept. 10 opener in Pittsburgh, defensive coordinator Stev...
