49ers looking for Aaron Lynch to lose 8-10 pounds by Week 1, per report

The San Francisco 49ers are going to be looking to outside linebacker Aaron Lynch as a potential replacement for Aldon Smith. Lynch had a strong rookie season, but injuries have cost him much of this past offseason. He reportedly dealt with a hamstring injury in the offseason workout program, and has spent the first week and a half of training camp getting back into game shape.

We have an update on the situation, courtesy of Ryan Sakamoto at NinerFans.com. Sakamoto is reporting Lynch currently weighs 272 pounds, a year after playing his rookie season at 260 pounds.
