During Sunday’s press conference, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was under the assumption wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk suffered a torn ACL: “So that’s what we fear. That’s what it looks like, but we’ve been wrong before. So, praying that we are.”
Multiple national reporters have confirmed that Aiyuk’s ACL is torn, along with his MCL, and there may be other damage. Aiyuk has been the focal point of the 49ers passing offense and helped take Brock Purdy and the Niners to new heights. Aiyuk, fresh off an All-Pro season, will look to come back stronger than ever in 2025.
