ESPN insider connects 49ers to possible trade for Texans LB playing under DeMeco Ryans | Sporting News

Warner suffered a dislocated and broken ankle in Week 6 and will be out for the rest of the season.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggests that Houston Texans linebacker Christian Harris could be a target for the 49ers.

The Texans are led by head coach DeMeco Ryans, a former 49ers player, who may be willing to trade Harris.

Christian Harris could be a target for San Francisco, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Current Situation

The 49ers are currently 5-2 and looking like playoff contenders, making a trade for a linebacker a possible move.

General manager John Lynch may make a move to help the defense, but it's unlikely to replace Warner's elite level of play.
