Brandon Aiyuk files to rejoin San Francisco 49ers

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 4 Nov, 16:53 · Archive

Receiver Brandon Aiyuk has applied to be reinstated to the San Francisco 49ers from the reserve/left squad list and plans to report to the team on Friday, according to his new agent Drew Rosenhaus. Aiyuk has not played a game in more than two years since sustaining a knee injury in October 2024 and has been on the reserve/left squad list after leaving the 49ers late last season.

Aiyuk recently hired Rosenhaus after firing his previous agent, Ryan Williams, during a long-running dispute with the team. He will remain under contract with San Francisco after reinstatement by the NFL. The team previously voided $27 million guaranteed in Aiyuk's 2026 contract for failing to participate in meetings and team activities while rehabilitating his injury.

Aiyuk signed a four-year, $120 million extension before the 2024 season following a contract holdout that kept him out of training camp. General manager John Lynch has previously stated he does not expect Aiyuk to play for the 49ers again. The 28-year-old has 294 career catches for 4,305 yards and 25 touchdowns since being drafted in the first round in 2020.
