San Francisco traded Lance to the Cowboys in August 2023. He didn't see the field that season, but he did start a game for Dallas in 2024. Lance appeared in four Cowboys contests overall, throwing 25-for-41 for 266 yards and an INT while rushing 11 times for 41 yards.

Early indications are Pinnock, 26, will step in as a starting safety when the 49ers open the regular season on Sept. 7 in Seattle. With Malik Mustapha sidelined while rehabbing an ACL tear, Pinnock and third-year player Ji’Ayir Brown are running with the first team.

The San Francisco 49ers made a roster move that might indicate good news for one of their ailing wide receivers.

As he enters his first season with the Indianapolis Colts, veteran cornerback Charvarius Ward is willing to admit that he didn't put his best foot forward during the 2024 campaign.

Rookie C.J. West dominated at the onset of the 49ers’ first full-padded practice Monday, a positive sign for an overhauled defensive front.

The San Francisco 49ers are adding another depth piece to their front seven on Tuesday, as they're signing defensive end Jaylon Allen.

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward endured emotional turmoil during the final year of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran defender lost his 1-year-old daughter in Oct. 2024 to heart problems and missed three games after her death. Once he returned to the field for the final few weeks of the season, he was not the same.

The 49ers are adding another defensive lineman to the mix. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, San Francisco is signing defensive end Jaylon Allen. Allen spent time with the Broncos last year but then played the 2025 UFL season with the Memphis Showboats. He appeared in 10 games, tallying 23 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a forced fumble.
