49ers vs. Bengals: If Aaron Lynch can't go, Eli Harold should play more than Corey Lemonier

San Francisco 49ers outside linebacker Aaron Lynch is probably the biggest bright spot on a bad team. He's got a world of potential ahead of him, and he's made people forget about Aldon Smith a lot quicker than any of us thought possible. But there's a good chance Lynch won't be available on Sunday when the 49ers host the Cincinnati Bengals at Levi's Stadium.

Lynch is dealing with a concussion, and he was listed as questionable for the game. That designation is supposed to denote a 50 percent chance of playing, and I get the sense that he actually really is questionable and that it's not just the 49ers gaming the injury report like every single team in the league does at one time or another.
