Brandon Aiyuk has filed paperwork to be reinstated and plans to report to the 49ers' training facility Friday afternoon, his new agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN, NBC Sports Bay Area and NFL.com reported. "Brandon is healthy and ready to get back on the field," Rosenhaus said.
Aiyuk is on San Francisco's Reserve/Left Squad list. The team's options are to reinstate and play him under his contract, release him, or reinstate him and look for a trade before the Nov. 10 deadline, NFL.com reported.
Coach Kyle Shanahan sounded unmoved. "I have no expectation," he said. "I've kinda moved on with that mentally."
Aiyuk, 28, had 4,305 yards on 294 catches in 69 games with the 49ers. He has not played since Oct. 20, 2024.
