The SF 49ers lost wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk for the rest of training camp, yet Kyle Shanahan is hopeful the rookie’s impact will still be felt early.
It’s no surprise injuries have plagued the SF 49ers a bit more during training camp in 2020 than they otherwise have in previous years, especially considering players didn’t have the benefit of spring workouts due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Without diving into the deep medical specifics, soft-tissue injuries were likely to be seen more frequently as players are now seeing less time to acclimate their bodies to the rigors of a full NFL season.
