The 49ers played most of Sunday’s game without their top three wide receivers. Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings are expected back on the field for at least the second half of the 2024 NFL season, while Brandon Aiyuk sustained a severe knee injury that will sideline him until the 2025 campaign.

The plan to ease rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall back into form as he worked his way back from being shot in the chest didn’t last long for the San Francisco 49ers.

The San Francisco 49ers have been hit hard by the injury bug throughout the season. From the jump, they had defending Offensive Player of the Year Christian McCaffrey put on the shelf due to an Achilles injury.
