The 49ers placed big-money bets that Jimmie Ward will stay healthy and Arik Armstead will remain a sack machine. And, sandwiched between those moves, they traded a sure thing when it came to availability and production. Talk about risky business.

Even though it’s sidelined by the coronavirus pandemic, sports still has the power to inform and lead, as we’ve seen in the past week through the NBA’s drastic action and Kevin Durant’s decision to go public with his diagnosis.
