Matt Maiocco breaks down the trade that brings DeForest Buckner back to San Francisco, then general manager John Lynch joins for the 49ers Game Plan interview.
DeForest Buckner joins Dre Greenlaw, Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne as former 49ers who left and returned to Santa Clara, and Patrick Holloway argues those returns show the 49ers do not burn bridges, with Buckner himself pushing for San Francisco.
San Francisco has spent weeks scrambling for healthy receivers and could soon have the opposite problem. The 49ers carry six receivers on the 53, with Demarcus Robinson possibly back after the bye and De'Zhaun Stribling on track for December, a squeeze that puts Brandin Cooks first on the bubble and forces a harder choice later among Christian Kirk, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins, while Mike Evans and his Achilles tendinitis cloud the picture ahead of the November 10 trade deadline.
