Rookie DE Mikail Kamara was just carted off the field with an unknown issue. With Cam Sample (knee), Romello Height (unknown), Mykel Williams not practicing and Nick Bosa limited to individual drills, the 49ers are reaching a critical low on the Edge.
De’Zhaun Stribling isn’t practicing today due to hamstring tightness. Team said it’s not a strain. DE Cam Sample (knee) also is out today.
Lynch said the surgery will occur in "the next couple of weeks" and that the timeframe for his return is from six to 12 months. He thinks that nine months might end up being the actual timetable.
