5 players to watch in the 49ers/Eagles matchup: All eyes on Brandon Aiyuk

It was painful to watch Aiyuk not be involved in the offense last week. As a fan, I questioned what Kyle Shanahan was thinking? Nevertheless, the likely reason was that Aiyuk missed ten days of practice paired with the rise of Trent Sherfield through camp and the preseason games.

Aiyuk needs to be on the field for this offense to hit explosive plays consistently.
