Aaron Lynch Set to Return to 49ers Defense on TNF vs. Arizona Cardinals

The San Francisco 49ers lost one linebacker for the season on Monday and had another one rejoin the team.

NaVorro Bowman’s season-ending Achilles injury was confirmed by the club after the All-Pro inside ‘backer went down on a non-contact play in Sunday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

The incoming player is Aaron Lynch, who missed the first four weeks of the regular season due to a suspension. The third-year pass-rushing outside ‘backer has recorded 12.5 sacks in 30 career games. He'll look to spark a 49ers defense that has recorded seven sacks in four games.
