Overview

• General manager John Lynch said on KNBR he is having productive conversations about acquiring a pass rusher after Nick Bosa’s season-ending ACL tear.
• The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports San Francisco is canvassing options and is expected to call Cincinnati to check on Trey Hendrickson’s availability.
• Trey Hendrickson has recorded 17.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons and has four through five games this year while playing on a reworked one-year deal.
• San Francisco’s pass rush has fallen to six sacks with one of the NFL’s lowest pressure rates, heightening urgency ahead of the trade deadline.
• Cincinnati’s 2-3 start and quarterback injury have fueled outside speculation about moves, though any trade would likely require significant draft capital and Hendrickson’s age factors into the 49ers’ decision-making.
