Brandon Aiyuk Files for Reinstatement with 49ers Return Imminent

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has officially filed paperwork for reinstatement and plans to report to the team's facility on Friday. Aiyuk spent the season on the reserve/left squad list following a complex knee injury (ACL, MCL, meniscus) in October 2024 alongside an ongoing contract dispute. San Francisco must now decide whether to keep, trade, or release him, with a release considered likely.
