Of course as a week comes to a close in the NFL, a ton of injury news that has
00:08
been finalized since the Sunday slate and none of it is really good for the
00:13
San Francisco 49ers. Tests confirming yesterday that Brandon Ayuk has suffered
00:18
a season-ending knee injury. Torn ACL and MCL, he will miss the remainder of this
00:24
year for San Francisco. Debo Samuel, a late-scratch dubsy against that Kansas
00:30
City Chiefs team in the Super Bowl 58 rematch. They said he was dealing with an
00:33
illness, a rather serious one. He has been hospitalized with pneumonia. He has
00:39
fluid in his lungs. There is no timeline for his return at this moment. Scary
00:44
situation for Debo. Debo, excuse me, Christian McCaffrey, unlikely to return
00:49
before the week 9 by for San Francisco. Still on injury reserve with the
00:54
Achilles tendonitis and just to add on to this laundry list, George Kittle, who
00:59
has been banged up at times this year, is considered day-to-day with a foot
01:04
sprain and it's not like dubsy. This 49ers team has looked a part of an NFC
01:09
favorite and they're 5-2 and now this slew of injuries. They're below
01:14
500. They're 3-4 and it does not look like this is going to get
01:18
better anytime in the near future for the 49ers. No, it really doesn't. They're
01:23
getting set to take on the Dallas Cowboys on deck there and the Cowboys,
01:26
it's only a matter of time before they truly wake up there. So for the 49ers,
01:31
it's really not good news on any front there. I guess the
01:35
the only positive you would take away from that is CMC. Christian McCaffrey
01:39
could possibly back in the mix there by week 10 but if they were to drop this
01:43
next one to the Cowboys and sitting there at 3-5, they're gonna be
01:46
playing catch-up and without all these explosive offensive weapons, it's not a
01:51
knock to Brock Purdy. We're not gonna call him assistant quarterback,
01:55
Benny, but they really do need the pieces in place for this offense to work. So if
02:00
they can get Christian McCaffrey back in the mix, you've got a question, how's he
02:03
really gonna be, you know, look at first game back coming into week 10? It's
02:07
obviously gonna be a bit of rust for a guy that you depend on for so much
02:10
productivity. So for the 49ers, Shanahan, one of the smartest minds in the business,
02:15
they've got to find something, some kind of spark to just try and keep that
02:19
season alive until they can get a little healthier there. But Brandon and I, you're
02:22
getting said to miss the rest of the season. That's a massive blow up
02:26
there in Santa Clara.
