Let’s go back to week 7 of the 2024 NFL season. The 49ers were up in a revenge game against the Chiefs. They had lost the Super Bowl to them in February 2024. Brandon Aiyuk was going in full swing. Boom, he fell down. The medical team rushed to the field and later ruled him out of the game. He was diagnosed with torn MCL + ACL. Kyle Shanahan was devastated.

On November 30, the WR shared an Instagram story, a selfie in a knee brace, holding a crutch. He looked better, certainly. That will inspire the locker room to do better. After his injury, the team was disappointed. They lost the game, but their heart was heavy by losing their star player.

The head coach kept in touch and said, “BA is a strong dude and a spiritual guy, and he believes everything happens for a reason. So, he’ll be all right.” That’s the team spirit they have. It’s commendable. The faith has worked for the wide receiver too. But the Faithful have only one question. Will Brandon Aiyuk return this season? That seems doubtful. That has been the 49ers story this season.

Who would have thought that after 12 weeks, the team would be 4th in the NFC West with 5 wins and 6 losses? Even in the conference, they are in 11th position. But they have a good chance if they can turn their plan into action on the field. In the NFC West, the Seahawks are on the top, followed by the Cardinals with 6 wins each. Now, 6 remaining games will decide their future.

49ers HC Shanahan must be doing the math himself. But it’s not easy for them. The walls of the Niners Empire are shaking with injuries to its 11 players.

49ers release injury report before the week 13 matchup against the Bills

Giant slayer! The name suits the Bills perfectly this year, as they are the only team to defeat the Chiefs. The Niners, on the other hand, are struggling to get players. The injury report just came out Friday, which lowers hopes further below.

Brock Purdy showed significant improvement in his injured right shoulder and was out there practicing, but the end result. That’s the same. He was not playing against the Packers and is also questionable against the Bills. But Kyle Shanahan was hopeful and said, “It was good. It was great to get him back out there.” Both B’s (Brock Purdy and Brandon Aiyuk) are mainstays of the team but aren’t playing.

The situation is a bit serious regarding their DB Deommodore Lenoir and DL Nick Bosa. Neither will be playing against the Bills, making an already tough game even harder. When key players are out, the challenge becomes even worse. The fans trust their team to pull through, but the road to the playoffs is clear: they must secure the first position in their division.
