After being suspended for four games for a diluted urine sample, Aaron Lynch returns to the field on Thursday. The San Francisco 49ers defense is in need of reinforcement after losing NaVorro Bowman for the season to a torn achilles and possibly DeForest Buckner for a few games with a foot injury. Lynch has gone through a transformation of sorts, losing 30 pounds since training camp.
Much was made of Lynch’s previous transformation when former head coach Jim Harbaugh reportedly had Lynch eating multiple steaks every day to put on weight. His weight fluctuation at that time was also 30 pounds in order to reach 270.
