- The 49ers are giving off two different signals at once.
- San Francisco is 6-0, but the unbeaten start has come with a rash of injuries, including absences on offense from Deebo Samuel and Mike Evans.
- The 49ers already snagged edge rusher Chase Young off the trade block, a move that added another layer to a roster that is trying to stay intact while also staying aggressive.
- The visit with Trice, the Chase Young move, the injury list, and Lynch’s trade-deadline comments all point in the same direction: San Francisco is keeping its options open while refusing to say much about where those options might lead.
