49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk's Availability Uncertain for Thursday Night Football
Injury Update
49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk played through a shoulder injury in the team's Week 2 win over the Rams, but his availability for Thursday Night Football is now in question.
Details of the Injury
Aiyuk suffered the shoulder injury during the 49ers' win over the Los Angeles Rams. The team had an early injury scare in the game when Aiyuk went down with what appeared to be a chest injury, but he returned to the field after briefly leaving.
However, it is now being reported that Aiyuk is also dealing with a shoulder injury stemming from several hits he took in the game. The severity of the injury is not yet known, and his availability for Thursday Night Football against the Denver Broncos is uncertain.
Impact on the 49ers
Aiyuk's absence would be a significant blow to the 49ers' offense. The 2020 first-round pick has been one of the team's most productive receivers this season, catching 12 passes for 204 yards and two touchdowns in two games.
If Aiyuk is unable to play on Thursday, the 49ers will likely turn to Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings, and Richie James Jr. to fill the void in the receiving corps.
