The San Francisco 49ers made a strategic move by acquiring defensive tackle Khalil Davis from the Houston Texans for a 2026 seventh-round draft pick. This low-profile trade reflects the team's focus on value acquisitions rather than high-profile trades.

As the 49ers navigate a disappointing 4-4 season, they anticipate reinforcements from players returning from injuries, including Christian McCaffrey and Jon Feliciano. General manager John Lynch emphasized the importance of maintaining draft capital for future seasons.
