SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers got some needed help for their struggling defense, acquiring edge rusher Chase Young from the Washington Commanders for a third-round draft pick. Young will team up with his former Ohio State teammate Nick Bosa to give the Niners a formidable edge rushing duo and provide a needed boost for a team on a three-game losing streak. Young was the second overall pick in the 2020 draft and has been playing at a high level this season after two injury-plagued years.
