49ers leading WR Aiyuk likely out, source says

NFL

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is not expected to play Thursday night against the New York Giants because of a shoulder injury, a league source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Aiyuk is listed as questionable for the game.

The 49ers announced Thursday they have elevated receiver Chris Conley from the practice squad for the game.

He suffered his injury on the first catch in last Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams, a 30-23 49ers victory. Aiyuk finished the game with three catches for 43 yards.

He leads the 49ers this season with 172 receiving yards and two touchdown catches in two games. He has 11 receptions, tied with Deebo Samuel for the team lead.

He was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week after Week 1 when he had eight receptions for 129 yards and two touchdowns in the 49ers 37-7 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
