The San Francisco 49ers faced a disappointing defeat against the Kansas City Chiefs, losing 28-18 in their Super Bowl rematch. The game took a turn for the worse as wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was diagnosed with a season-ending knee injury.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed concern over Aiyuk's potential ACL tear following a tough hit during the game. Despite limping off the field, Aiyuk was carted to the locker room and ruled out for the remainder of the match.
Aiyuk had been a significant player for the 49ers, recently signing a lucrative contract. With his absence, rookie Ricky Pearsall and veterans Jauan Jennings and Chris Conley are expected to fill the void.
