49ers fear torn ACL for WR Aiyuk, Shanahan says
The 49ers fear that wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, according to coach Kyle Shanahan. He will undergo further testing to confirm.www.espn.com
Looked like an ACL in real time
Aiyuk has been performing at a WR3 level so not sure they’ll miss his production from this year too much.What poor timing!! Not that there's ever a good time to lose a #1 WR. Amari Cooper and Davante Adams off the market.

And 69er fan tears are sooooo delicious.49ners wrecked by injuries yet again.
Jennings has been performing at a high level all year, though, and those two rookies they drafted (Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing) are...interesting (honestly wouldn't have minded a selection of Cowing if we had a fourth; he's small, but plays much bigger, is quick, shifty, a good route runner, and has sticky hands. Like a bargain bin Atwell, except without spending a second. As for Pearsall, I don't think he'll ever be worth a first-round pick, but that doesn't mean he'll be a bad player).
But yeah, they're stuck with Aiyuk and Deebo, both of whom look cooked, and McCaffery's absence doesn't help. And I have no idea why they haven't cut Bell yet, but I'm all for them keeping him in the starting lineup for his entire career over everyone.
I could see them trading Aiyuk away next season.They need salary space & agree both those WR’s give them the depth to do it.
He's much more likely to be moved. It's unrealistic to think they trade Aiyuk.Have to assume they'll dump Deebo this offseason. Would have to be a post June 1 or a trade to make it worthwhile for 2025 though. CMC they are pretty stuck with at least through 2025 unless they want to eat a bunch of dead cap and lost cap space. Aiyuk they are stuck with because his new contract was an extension added after this year. Going to have to ride that guy for another season at least. Their whole o-line is held together by 36 year old Williams. And then they have to make a decision on Purdy and Greenlaw after this season. It's good stuff.
I've said it all along, love that more Whiner fans are painfully realizing itSuperbowl hangover is real.
BY FAR, my favorite sports spectator activity is watching the Rams win a football game.I've said it all along, love that more Whiner fans are painfully realizing it
