49ers pregame: Aaron Lynch to miss ninth game of the season

CHICAGO -- Outside linebacker Aaron Lynch will miss his fifth straight game with a high-ankle sprain. Lynch suffered the injury Oct. 23 against the Buccaneers and, tough he's returned to practice, has looked far from spry when trying to push off from the line of scrimmage.

Lynch also was suspended for the first four games of the season. Eli Harold, who has one sack, will start his ninth game of the season.

On the defensive line, Quinton Dial will start after missing the most recent game in Miami. Chris Jones also is active but Tony Jerod-Eddie is not.
