The 49ers officially put an end to WR Brandon Aiyuk's season on Saturday, placing him on the reserve/left squad list. Aiyuk has not played since suffering a multi-ligament knee injury in Week 7 of the 2024 season. It's unclear exactly where he's at in his rehab, but Aiyuk never seemed likely to play this year after we learned the team voided the more than $25 million guaranteed for 2026 in his contract. Aiyuk is expected to be released this offseason and figures to draw plenty of interest. He turns 28 in March and has averaged 62 receiving yards per game for his career.
