The 49ers of San Francisco had a bumpy off -season.
They made all their key contract extensions, but injuries were also a large scenario, no bigger for the offense than the large receiver Brandon Aiyuk.

On Tuesday, he officially learned that he would not play for a while.
The 49ers placed Aiyuk on the list physically unable to perform, which means that it will be inactive for at least the first four games of the season before being authorized to return to training.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan has already said that this month, week 6 could be a logical return date for Aiyuk.
Aiyuk was injured in week 7 last year, when he torn his MCL and ACL.
The 49ers had already reduced their reception corps, this offseason when they exchanged Deebo Samuel to Washington Commanders.

Without Aiyuk too, it seems that Ricky Pearsall is WR1 in week 1.
In seven games last season, Aiyuk had 25 catches for 374 yards.

Before that, he had gathered two consecutive seasons of 1,000 yards.
Aiyuk played five seasons for the 49ers and at 294 captures for 4,305 yards and 25 affected.
With Brock Purdy on a brand new money contract, recovering Aiyuk will be imperative for Niners offenses to shoot the complete accelerator.
But they will have to be a little patient because Aiyuk cannot play for at least four games after Tuesday’s puppy decision.
