49ers star Brandon Aiyuk reveals gruesome extent of knee injury

We knew San Francisco 49ers star Brandon Aiyuk wouldn’t play again this season after suffering a major knee injury in the Super Bowl rematch against the Chiefs. But now, we know just how gruesome Aiyuk’s injury is.

Aiyuk posted a video on his YouTube channel Monday and started by giving an update on his knee injury, revealing he not only has a torn ACL and MCL but also has a “messed up meniscus,” too. While Aiyuk’s description of his meniscus injury wasn’t specific, an injury to those three ligaments is something the medical field commonly refers to as an “unhappy triad” injury.
