Aiyuk reportedly suffered ACL and MCL tears in his right knee during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Look for confirmation of the report, either way, to arrive from the 49ers later Monday, but Aiyuk appears destined for injured reserve as a result of his knee injury. In Aiyuk's looming absence, Deebo Samuel (illness) and Jauan Jennings (hip) are in line to lead the 49ers' WR corps going forward, with 2024 first-rounder Ricky Pearsall also likely to see an expanded role in the team's passing offense.
