Being a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers quickly becomes a dangerous statement.
First-round rookie Brandon Aiyuk is the latest in a growing list of injured Niners wideouts disguised as the walking injured.
Aiyuk left the practice early on Sunday after an apparent hamstring injury, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.
The severity of the injury remains to be determined, as is the toll taken on the crime as the outcome of WR injuries spreads.
Aiyuk joins other receivers Deebo Samuel, Jalen Hurd and Richie James on the injury front.
Samuel has a Jones fracture and will likely miss some time in the regular season, Hurd is on injured reserve with an ACL tear and James has a wrist injury that did not clear him up due to the kickoff of the season.
The 49ers have already signed reinforcements in Tavon Austin and JJ Nelson, but more are being called for pending Aiyuk’s fate.
The receiver was taken with the 25th overall choice in the concept.
