Brandon Aiyuk Headshot

WR Brandon Aiyuk has filed for reinstatement and plans to report to the 49ers on Friday, agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN's Adam Schefter. "Brandon is healthy and ready to get back on the field," Rosenhaus added. The Niners will now decide what to do with Aiyuk's rights. HC Kyle Shanahan reiterated on Wednesday that his team is not interested in bringing Aiyuk back. We'll see if they try to trade him, release him, or hold him hostage. Aiyuk has not played since suffering a multi-ligament right knee injury in October 2024. We'll see where this goes, but we wouldn't bother adding Aiyuk outside of the deepest of fantasy leagues. It's completely unclear what kind of shape he's in, and he'd need to learn a brand new offense on the fly.
