The 49ers welcome back tight end Vance McDonald, but will be without outside linebacker Aaron Lynch once again. We break down what this means.
The San Francisco 49ers and Cincinnati Bengals released their Week 15 inactives, and the 49ers will once again be without Aaron Lynch. The team's top pass rusher will miss his second straight game due to a concussion. He took part in practice this week, but wore the blue non-contact jersey all week. His absence is huge given that he has been among the league leaders in hurrying the quarterback. Corey Lemonier got the start last week, and it would not surprise me if he got it again.
