00:00Brendan Ayuk got paid last offseason, one of those 11 wide receivers making 28 mil or more per year.
00:07But of course, DRS in week seven in the Super Bowl rematch against KC tore his ACL, part of a disappointing season for the 49ers in 2024, plagued by significant injuries.
00:19Ayuk certainly included John Lynch as the Niners showed up to training camp yesterday, talking about that timetable.
00:25So the team is happy with how Brendan Ayuk is progressing, but it's far too early to set a timeline on his return to action.
00:33Yeah, that's not good. But by the way, what did you expect? An ACL and an MCL in week seven last year?
00:37Usually you're looking at a full year, but also at a time where the 49ers like, hey, they're talented.
00:42Their defense isn't as good as what it has been over the past five years or expected to be this year.
00:46You take a look at the skill positions like, hey, McCaffrey is supposed to come back healthy.
00:50Is he really healthy? And running backs, once they start to go downhill with injuries,
00:54they usually don't come back here at this point. And also you trade away Debo Samuel.
00:58And now you look at yourself and say, OK, Juwan Jennings, now's the time for me to cash in.
01:02I don't know if I want to be here unless you pay me more money, even though you just paid me last year.
01:06There's a lot of question marks with the 49ers, but like the worst question mark is,
01:10boy, you just signed a wide receiver to a big deal and he just blows his knee out.
01:13He might never regain form here. Tough season here for the San Francisco 40 setting up with more questions than answers right now.
01:19And that big question is, we don't know when Brandon Ayuk's coming back.
