49ers' Aiyuk Out for Season with Knee Injuries

The San Francisco 49ers face significant setbacks as star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is out for the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL and MCL, sustained during their recent 28-18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. This injury is compounded by other challenges, including Deebo Samuel's hospitalization with pneumonia and Jauan Jennings' hip injury, leaving the team with limited receiver options like Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing. Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Aiyuk's injury, which will require major reconstructive surgery. The 49ers, currently 3-4, are struggling with a series of injuries that have also sidelined key players like Christian McCaffrey. In response, the team may explore trade options to bolster their roster before the upcoming trade deadline.
