Alex Mack is expected to return in 2022; Dee Ford's time with the 49ers is likely up

49ers general manager John Lynch spoke about more than his quarterback situation Monday during the NFL’s owners’ meetings.

Question marks remain along the offensive line. According to Lynch, the Niners won’t have to worry about finding a new center for this upcoming season, as Alex Mack is expected to return:

“He’s training like he’s coming back. I won’t speak for him but all signs are him coming back and being a part of us.”

Mack, who turns 37 in November, is under contract through the 2023 season. However, there’s no more guaranteed money remaining on Mack’s deal.
