San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was not pleased that wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk wore the wrong shorts to practice on Friday.
There was a bit of a fashion faux pas during the San Francisco 49ers' practice session in Santa Clara, Ca. on Friday. 49ers star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk emerged from the locker room wearing red shorts, and immediately stood out, as the rest of the club had donned black shorts for the practice.
This was not lost on coach Kyle Shanahan, who immediately approached Aiyuk and appeared to have an animated discussion with the talented receiver. After making his point clear, Shanahan walked away. A somewhat frustrated Aiyuk then proceeded to remove his cleats and change from the red shorts to the black shorts, which he puzzlingly had on his person for the practice session.He was then asked if wearing the wrong shorts is a punishable offense.
The 49ers offense has, understandably, scuffled a bit since a 32-point outburst in the Week 1 win over the New York Jets. Aiyuk, who in Augustwith the club after a lengthy holdout, has also been slow out of the gate, having produced just 11 receptions for 119 receiving yards through three games played.
With Kittle expected to play Sunday against the New England Patriots, and Samuel on the mend, San Francisco will hope to put together a better overall performance in Week 4.Tim Capurso is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
