49ers Declare Substation Injury Theory Debunked After Independent EMF Review

Attention now shifts to $9 million in rehab upgrades with more physical therapists.

Overview

  • Lynch, speaking Sunday at the NFL meetings, said an independent EMF study found the 49ers’ facility is safe with levels about 400 times below an unsafe threshold.
  • The team said a scientist with more than 45 years of EMF experience used lab‑grade meters across player areas and found readings comparable to a typical gym, noting common appliances can produce higher exposure.
  • San Francisco is investing $9 million to expand recovery areas with cold and hot tubs, pools, and underwater treadmills to improve rehab capacity.
  • The club is adding three physical therapists without replacing its training staff to give players more one‑on‑one care after low NFLPA grades for the training room and staff.
  • Lynch reported no free agents raised substation concerns during talks, even as online proponents press for the scientist’s name and full report.
