Overview
- Lynch said Bosa will undergo ACL reconstruction Friday after what coaches described as a clean tear with no additional damage.
- San Francisco will lean on first-round rookie Mykel Williams and veteran Bryce Huff, with care taken not to overload Huff’s snap count.
- The front office is “always looking” at the market, with media analyses outlining targets that range from big swings like Trey Hendrickson or Bradley Chubb to lower-cost options such as Arden Key or Michael Clemons.
- Roster and cap realities, including an emphasis on younger, cheaper pieces and Brock Purdy’s $265 million extension, make a blockbuster move less likely.
- Before the injury, Bosa logged 17 tackles, two sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery through three games in a 3-0 start.
