Overview
- San Francisco's only in-season acquisition remains defensive lineman Keion White, with the team making no additional trades at the Nov. 4 deadline.
- GM John Lynch told KNBR the 49ers "weren't going to get fleeced" or overpay, noting earlier deals for Bryce Huff, Brian Robinson Jr. and Skyy Moore as part of this year's activity.
- Reports say the club explored edge rushers, including Jermaine Johnson at a reported second-round price and Trey Hendrickson at a reported first-round cost, which the team viewed as too steep.
- Injuries to defensive stars Nick Bosa, Fred Warner and rookie Mykel Williams have coincided with a lagging pass rush, with 11 sacks and 24 quarterback hits ranking near the bottom of the league.
- Bryce Huff is expected to return this week, and team voices expressed confidence in the current roster as the 6-3 49ers continue their push with White added to the defensive line.
