The San Francisco 49ers are pursuing experienced pass rushers like Carl Granderson and Bradley Chubb following Fred Warner’s season-ending ankle injury and Nick Bosa’s absence, aiming to strengthen a struggling defense. Despite a 4-2 record and strong offense, the team is focusing on long-term solutions over short-term rentals, targeting veteran players under contract who can provide immediate impact. The 49ers plan to bolster their defense to support young secondary players, with key games ahead against Atlanta, Houston, and the Giants.
