Overview

• General manager John Lynch said on KNBR he is holding productive discussions about acquiring a pass rusher and will move if the right opportunity aligns.
• Dianna Russini reports the 49ers are canvassing options and are expected to call Cincinnati about Trey Hendrickson before the Nov. 4 deadline.
• Hendrickson has 17.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons and four through five games this year while playing on a revised one-year deal worth about $29–30 million.
• Cincinnati sits 2-3 with Joe Burrow sidelined by a toe injury, and the team traded for Joe Flacco, who is set to start against the Packers as inquiries are anticipated.
• San Francisco’s sacks and pressure rate have dropped sharply without Nick Bosa, leaving the front office to weigh draft cost, cap impact and short-term value in any deal.
