49ers may target Khalil Mack amid Nick Bosa's injury concerns

Summary

The San Francisco 49ers have seen a strong start to the season but face significant injury challenges, especially with defensive end Nick Bosa expected to miss multiple games due to a calf injury. As a result, the team is reportedly considering a trade for Los Angeles Chargers edge-rusher Khalil Mack to bolster their defense. Mack, a nine-time Pro Bowler, has shown effectiveness this season with two sacks and could fit well in the 49ers' defensive scheme. San Francisco's depth players have performed admirably, but the need for additional pass-rushing support is growing amidst injuries to key defensive players. The 49ers may have to act before the trade deadline.
