Brandon Aiyuk injury update: Kyle Shanahan reveals expected diagnosis for 49ers WR

San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk is feared to have suffered a torn ACL in Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs, coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters postgame.

Aiyuk went down near the end of the second quarter after taking a direct hit to his right knee. It was clear to the naked eye from the impact of the hit that there was a high likelihood the injury was serious, and now the worst case scenario is closer to being confirmed.

Aiyuk will undergo an MRI to confirm the diagnosis of a torn ACL. He will likely be out for the season if the results end up being what the team expects.

Aiyuk signed a four-year contract extension worth $120 million prior to the start of this season. He ranked second on the team with 23 catches for 351 yards entering Sunday’s contest and finished the game with two catches for 23 yards.

This story will be updated.
