DeForest Buckner ranks among DTs this year, per Sumer Sports:
Sacks: Tied - 2nd
Pressures: 10th
TFLs: 14th
Impact plays: 15th
Stuffed runs: 17th
Through at least the first month, he was double teamed on 36.4% of his pass rushes. Gonna be tough to double him with a 5-down front
The #49ers' defensive front has some juice:
DE Nick Bosa (return TBD)
DT DeForest Buckner
DT Osa Odighizuwa
DE Keion White
DE Mykel Williams
DT Gracen Halton
DE Romello Height
DT Sebastian Valdez
There it is. It almost felt inevitable. The #49ers are sending a 2027 4th-rounder to the Colts to bring DeForest Buckner back. An easy deal to make for John Lynch at a huge position of need.
Trade: The #Colts are trading 3-time Pro-Bowl DT DeForest Buckner back to the #49ers, the team that made him a 2016 first-round pick before dealing him to Indianapolis in 2020, per me and @AdamSchefter. A reunion!!
Now Buckner returns to SF, fortifying their defensive line.

The two Chargers players getting the most trade buzz around the league per my sources are EDGE Khalil Mack and RB Kimani Vidal.
Have been able to confirm that the Bears and 49ers have both made serious inquiries about Mack. One of the AFC contenders has expressed interest as well.
Two teams in the NFC East have called about Vidal, who is a sneaky trade candidate as more and more teams deal with injuries at RB.
It just makes too much sense.
Sources: The #Colts are also actively shopping DT DeForest Buckner. I expect him to be moved soon if the right offer comes in.

Trade! The Colts are sending eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.

49ers Kyle Shanahan call:
*McCaffrey has a mild hamstring strain, not thigh. Optimistic he'll be OK for Raiders game post-bye
*Also expected back (but not guaranteed) after bye are WRs Evans, Samuel; DE Bosa; LB Gifford; S Seigel, DT West
*No kicker tryouts in works

#49ers RB Christian McCaffrey has a mild hamstring strain, per Kyle Shanahan.
Team believes he will be fine coming out of the bye. “We’re pretty optimistic,” Shanahan said.

#49ers pressured Falcons QB Michael Penix on 3 of 34 drop backs today.
That 9% pressure rate is their lowest since week 16 of 2024 against Miami (also 9%).
The current rules are the current rules, but the fact that this isn’t a catch in today’s NFL feels a bit silly.
Well, did he drop it? No. So that means he caught it, right? Well, no. Why? Because the ball shifted in your hands a little bit when you hit the ground.
Ok.
