John Lynch expresses confidence in WRs while Brandon Aiyuk recovers

The 49ersâ?? top receiver Brandon Aiyuk is still recovering from a torn ACL and MCL suffered midway through the 2024 season. Given the severity of the injury, itâ??s unlikely that Aiyuk will be ready for Week 1. But San Francisco General Manager John Lynch said in an interview with Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area that heâ??s confident in the clubâ??s next men up â?? like Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall."We always keep a look for whatâ??s out there, but we do like our group," Lynch said, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. "I think, first of all, you start with Jauan. Jauan had a tremendous season last year. Heâ??s been a tremendous competitor, player for us since heâ??s been here. I think the fans, the team feed off Jauanâ??s energy. He plays football the right way. I love his style."Ricky is a really ascending player weâ??re excited about. Just scratched the surface of who he could be. And Rickyâ??s going to play well for us this year....
