When Chip Kelly gets to training camp later this month, one of the first things he's probably going to want to do is find a way to replace the guy who led the 49ers in sacks last year: Aaron Lynch.

The NFL announced on Friday that Lynch has been suspended for the first four games of the 2016 season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

General manager Trent Baalke said in a statement that he hopes the suspension can be a learning experience for Lynch.
