49ers Decline Further Comment on Jed York Arrest 17 Days Before Australia Opener

Summary
The 49ers said Monday they will make no further comment on owner Jed York’s Ohio arrest, calling it a legal matter that has already been resolved.
That stance is unusual because teams more often cite ongoing proceedings when declining comment; here, the case’s resolution removes that standard rationale for silence.
The arrest is likely to shadow San Francisco’s trip to Australia to face the Rams in 17 days, whether York travels or not.
League discipline could still come before Week 1, and the team now appears to be weighing how visible a role York should take in the short term.
