Overview
- San Francisco passed on blockbuster trades after determining prices were too high, according to GM John Lynch.
- The 49ers made one low-cost move by acquiring defensive end Keion White from the Patriots for two late-round picks.
- George Kittle said players supported the disciplined approach and expressed confidence with hopes of Ricky Pearsall and Brandon Aiyuk returning once healthy.
- With Brock Purdy still sidelined by turf toe, Mac Jones started in a 42-26 defeat to the Rams that dropped the 49ers to 6-4.
- Season-ending losses to Nick Bosa and Fred Warner continue to tax the defense, and coaches insist Purdy will not return until fully healthy.
