Overview

• Multiple outlets report San Francisco will at least inquire about Trey Hendrickson as it canvasses the edge market after Nick Bosa’s season-ending ACL tear.
• Lynch publicly confirmed active discussions and said the team will act if price and fit align, highlighting both draft-cost and contract considerations.
• Hendrickson has 17.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons and four through five games this year, and he is playing on a revised one-year deal worth about $29–30 million that expires after the season.
• Cincinnati is 2-3 with Joe Burrow sidelined by a toe injury and recently traded for Joe Flacco, signaling they are not yet sellers, so any deal would depend on how the next few weeks unfold.
• A separate report says the 49ers have also called the Packers about Kingsley Enagbare, underscoring a broad search as San Francisco’s pass rush ranks near the bottom in sacks and pressure rate.
