Brandon Aiyuk Makes Strong Statement on NFL Return Before 49ers Meeting
Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk spoke to the media about his return to the NFL ahead of a meeting with the San Francisco 49ers.
Brandon Aiyuk and his agent Drew Rosenhaus met with the San Francisco 49ers' business office to discuss his NFL return. Aiyuk suffered a knee injury in October 2024 and hasn't played since. After disagreements with the 49ers over missed rehab sessions, he is now seeking reinstatement from the reserve/left-squad list. Aiyuk stated he is feeling great and healthy, aiming to return to the NFL.
The 49ers' general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan both expressed openness to a reunion. However, Aiyuk's agent declined to comment on potential trade destinations. The NFL has informed Aiyuk of a $13 million bonus forfeiture to the 49ers due to his 2024 extension. A trade deadline is approaching on November 10, which may push for a quick decision.
