The good news is that Lynch added that despite being impacted by the current shelter-in-place order, Richburg is "on target" to be ready for training camp -- whenever that takes place.
"Weston's doing very well," Lynch said. "Probably not as close as last year. He's on target, I should say, to be ready to play if the season kicks off at the normal time. He's on target for that. Last year it was deep into training camp. I think he'll be ready for training camp. That's our hope."
Richburg said in February that he too expects to be ready for training camp.
"Should be back in training camp," Richburg said. "I'll miss the offseason stuff, but training camp should be a go."
The 49ers signed Richburg to a five-year deal on March 14, 2018. He started 15 games at center during the ensuing season and all 13 this past year before his injury.
