49ers general manager John Lynch on Friday translated the already clear writing on the wall. The team won’t pick up the fifth-year option on defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw.
This doesn’t come as a huge surprise given how Kinlaw’s first three years have gone. He showed flashes as a rookie, but then had his next two seasons derailed by injury. Kinlaw has played in just 10 games since 2021 with very little success.
