With Ford’s keep unsure and Bosa out for the leisure of the season, the 49ers agreed to terms with used defensive pause Ziggy Ansah on a one-365 days deal. Ansah visited with the physique of workers twice beforehand but did no longer merely about an settlement.

I have not been in a keep to focus on about with somebody. I do know John talked to Troy earlier this day, and they’re for sure taking a look into it. So confidently at a whereas we accumulate some solutions serve that will presumably invent our avid gamers if truth be told feel a minute bit extra at ease taking part in there next week.”
For the time being, the 49ers will take out hope that nothing else goes depraved this week on their two-sport, 10-day East Flee swing. Presumably it used to be an ominous designate that the time out to the Unruffled York space got off to a tough initiate on Friday.
