Aiyuk exited the game with 48 seconds left after taking a hit to his knee on a 14-yard catch.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/49ers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#49ers<\/a> WR Brandon Aiyuk does, in fact, have a torn ACL and MCL, per sources after the MRI. There may be other damage. <\/p>\n<p>His season is over, with a long road back for 2025. This is what coach Kyle Shanahan and SF believed following the game. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ju5nxlgDLC\">pic.twitter.com\/Ju5nxlgDLC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RapSheet\/status\/1848470379716587986?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 21, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_zig0wu2wn\">The 49ers had feared that Aiyuk tore his ACL following game according to Kyle Shanahan. Now, the fear has become confirmed that he did in fact tear his ACL and MCL. Losing Aiyuk for the season is a devastating blow to the 49ers. He was their best receiver on the offense, especially against man-to-man coverage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_tj5sth9t0\">Aiyuk\u2019s void will be tough to replace, let alone shrink. Rookie wide receivers Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing will need to step up to bridge the gap. Aiyuk might\u2019ve been underwhelming this season with the exception of one game, but he was still pivotal for the offense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_l61wuwm06\">Even if he wasn\u2019t lighting it up, he was still a player that defenses had to account for seriously. It won\u2019t be the same against Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings, Pearsall, and Cowing. Defending against the 49ers will be easier going forward with Brock Purdy\u2019s best weapon out for the year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_i63ph42kc\">2024 has been a weird one for Aiyuk. He was phased out of the game plan by the 49ers in the Super Bowl. Then came the awkward negotiations on a contract extension. It was all an unneccesary mess that has fans labeling Aiyuk a \u201cdiva\u201d but that is totally unfair to him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_iru80b075\">Now that he has suffered such a significant injury, his point to hold out for a lucrative deal is validated. This is what he was fighting for. It was only to match the money with his worth but for security. Aiyuk\u2019s career could go downhill after this injury, so for him to secure that contract is massive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_1om60krxa\">Best of luck to Aiyuk who faces a tough recovery and rehab. He will have his eyes on getting fully fit for the start of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 49ers will have to go the rest of 2024 without wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk after he tore his ACL and MCL against the Chiefs.
