SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Less than 24 hours after wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk injured his right knee against the Kansas City Chiefs, the San Francisco 49ers got the bad news they were expecting.

Aiyuk suffered torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his right knee that will require surgery and end his 2024 season after only seven games, coach Kyle Shanahan announced Monday.

Shanahan also announced that wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. is dealing with a form of pneumonia and is in the hospital. Samuel has some fluid in his lungs and was struggling to breathe in Sunday's game.

There is no timetable for his return. Aiyuk's injury happened with 48 seconds left in the second quarter. Quarterback Brock Purdy squeezed a pass to Aiyuk between Kansas City defensive backs Chamarri Conner and Trent McDuffie for a gain of 15 yards.
