The SF 49ers’ 2020 campaign hasn’t gone according to plan, yet John Lynch still pulled off some notable moves before the NFL trade deadline.

It’s hard to imagine many predicted the SF 49ers would be where they’re at halfway through the 2020 season.

A 4-4 record only tells part of the story. Perhaps the smallest part. If anything, 2020 will be defined as the year the Super Bowl runner-ups went from a championship contender to a proverbial “walking wounded” spreadsheet, leading the league in players landing on injured reserve and player-games missed only halfway through the season.
