RB Lance Dunbar will visit with 49ers
ESPN's Adam Caplan is reporting that RB Lance Dunbar will visit with the San Francisco 49ers.
Dunbar spent four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys after being signed by them out of North Texas in 2012 as an undrafted free agent. Over his career, he has 391 rushing yards with a 4.6 yard-per-carry average. He also has 524 receiving yards on 52 receptions.
Dunbar expected to be a part of the Cowboys' offense in 2013, but injuries and fumbles shortened his campaign. In October of 2015, Dunbar was placed on the injured reserve after suffering a torn ACL and MCL during a kickoff return in the team's fourth game, a matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Surprisingly, he entered that game as the Cowboys' leading receiver with 215 yards on 21 receptions.
The 49ers had expressed interest in Buccaneers RB Doug Martin, but Tampa Bay re-signed him to a 5-year, $35.75 million deal.

49ers QB Trey Lance finding ways to progress despite not getting any playing time
Rookie quarterback Trey Lance hasn't played a significant in-game role on offense for the San Francisco 49ers in nearly two months, but that doesn't necessarily mean he hasn't been picking up valuable experience since then.
Lance saw some late snaps in the 49ers' 30-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in November, but other than that he hasn't seen any playing time since starting in place of the injured Jimmy Garoppolo against the Cardinals on October 10. Lance suffered a knee injury in that game that put him on the sidelines for a brief time, while Garoppolo came back as the starter after an October 17 bye and has held a firm grip on that role ever since.
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan made it a point to give Lance some situational looks at times earlier in the
49ers-Seahawks: Garoppolo confident 49ers would have scored on last play if pass wasn't batted
Carlos Dunlap's hand may have been all that stopped the San Francisco 49ers from scoring on their final play during their 30-23 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
The 49ers had the ball on a 4th-and-Goal with seconds to play when quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo spotted wide receiver Trent Sherfield open near the end zone. Garoppolo threw the ball in Sherfield's direction, only to have it batted away by the 6-7 defensive end.

49ers' Nick Bosa, Kyle Juszczyk among top vote-getters for Pro Bowl
Voting for the upcoming Pro Bowl has been underway for a while now. The NFL released some stats on the leading vote-getters so far. Two San Francisco 49ers currently lead their respective positions.
Kyle Juszczyk leads all fullbacks with 70,362 fan votes. Nick Bosa leads NFC defensive ends with 68,143 votes.
Juszczyk, a nine-year veteran, has been named to the last five Pro Bowls, with the first coming in 2016. He is widely considered to be the best fullback in the NFL. Although, his 62.5 overall Pro Football Focus grade this season is his lowest mark since his rookie campaign.
Bosa is proving to be even more dominant than he was in his 2019 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year campaign. He has already surpassed his rookie sack total of nine with a
John Lynch says Frank Gore loves 49ers' Deebo Samuel as a running back
On Wednesday morning, San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch joined KNBR. A former NFL running back and 49ers fan favorite, Frank Gore, was with Lynch in team CEO Jed York's suite this past Sunday during the team's 30-10 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He remains close with the York family and continues to be a big fan of his former organization.
Gore was treated to watching a 79-yard, one-touchdown rushing performance from Deebo Samuel — a wide receiver. That came on just eight attempts, meaning the receiver averaged nearly 10 yards per carry.
Gore believes Samuel is so impressive that the third-year wideout is good enough to be a great running back.
"He loves Deebo as a running back," Lynch said. "He probably feels that if we
