""He's one of the better players in football and so it's a crushing blow to our team, but that's what this sport is, you're presented with challenges and hopefully it can be someone's opportunity," Lynch said Thursday on his weekly appearance on KNBR-680. "But one player won't make up for Nick Bosa. You have to do it collectively. We're pulling for Nick. He'll have his surgery Friday.""
""That's our job, to look at the market and see who might come available and I think our history shows, when you've got Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey and the list goes on and on of the players we have acquired in a trade. We're not afraid and have been effective doing that.""
""I do think we're a deep group there and that's going to be tested," Lynch said. "I think we're all aware, just finding someone that does what Nick Bosa does, that's not very feasible, but we'll see what's out there at the appropriate time. But right now we're going to have to rely on the guys we have and we believe in our group.""
Nick Bosa will undergo season-ending surgery on his right ACL Friday. General manager John Lynch acknowledged the injury as a major loss while committing support for Bosa's recovery. The 49ers will evaluate the trade market for pass rush help, citing a history of successful trades, but immediate availability of comparable players is unlikely. The team's depth at defensive end will be tested and younger players such as first-round pick Mykel Williams are expected to take on larger roles. The Nov. 4 trade deadline and other teams' circumstances, like Cincinnati's situation, could affect potential moves.
