Overview
- GM John Lynch told KNBR on Thursday that the focus is on playing with the current roster, softening earlier signals of pre-deadline moves.
- On Oct. 9, Lynch said he was having productive trade conversations after Nick Bosa’s season-ending ACL tear created a pass-rush need.
- Fred Warner dislocated and fractured his right ankle, underwent successful surgery, and the injury is viewed as season-ending by team accounts.
- ESPN’s Bill Barnwell floated a low-cost idea to move safety Jason Pinnock to the Bills for a late-round pick swap, framing the 49ers as potential sellers in a minor deal.
- Pinnock’s role has shrunk with Malik Mustapha’s return and rotations with Ji’Ayir Brown and Marques Sigle, and the 49ers will play the Falcons, Texans, and Giants before the Nov. 4 deadline.
