Overview

  • General manager John Lynch said he is having “a lot of good and productive” trade conversations to bolster San Francisco’s edge rush after Nick Bosa’s season-ending ACL tear.
  • The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports the 49ers are expected to inquire about Trey Hendrickson, a four-time Pro Bowler who posted 17.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons.
  • Hendrickson exited Sunday’s game with a back contusion, and coach Zac Taylor offered no update on severity, introducing a health variable ahead of any talks.
  • Cincinnati is 2-3 and recently acquired quarterback Joe Flacco, signaling it has not declared itself a seller as teams assess direction approaching the Nov. 4 trade deadline.
  • San Francisco has six sacks and a bottom-tier pressure rate since Bosa’s injury, heightening urgency to add a pass rusher, while Hendrickson plays on a one-year reworked 2025 deal that points to free agency next offseason.
