49ers receive a roster exemption after the NFL reinstates Brandon Aiyuk
The roster exemption for the 49ers expires in 2 weeks
The San Francisco 49ers recently received a roster exemption from the NFL after re-instating wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to the team's active roster. This came after Aiyuk reported for his physical examination. The exemption, granted by Commissioner Roger Goodell, will last for two games and expire on November 23. Aiyuk is receiving the exemption as a two-week unpaid period, as he is joining the team as a late addition.
While the 49ers see value in Aiyuk's presence, there is skepticism about his long-term role with the team. According to Matt Barrows, Aiyuk remains a peripheral member of the squad, with a "pretty much 0% chance" of him playing for the 49ers again.
