  "account": "Brandon Aiyuk returned to the San Francisco 49ers' facility on November 6, 2026, following a four-month absence. The wide receiver has not played since October 2024 due to ACL and MCL tears, as well as an off-field dispute with the team. After a year-long ordeal, Aiyuk and his agent Drew Rosenhaus met with the 49ers to negotiate his reinstatement to the NFL. Aiyuk stated, \"I'm feeling great, feeling healthy. It was a long recovery process, a long rehab process, but I'm back to 100% and looking to get reinstated into the National Football League.\" However, he did not specify whether he planned to return to the 49ers or seek a release for a new opportunity. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed uncertainty about the meeting's outcome, stating, \"I have no clue what will happen.\" Police presence was noted at the facility, along with a still-active arrest warrant for Aiyuk related to a speeding incident in December 2025. The meeting marked the conclusion of a tense relationship between Aiyuk and the 49ers, which culminated in the team voiding Aiyuk's guarantees in November 2025.",
  "summary": "Inside, though, San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he 'could(n't) care less' about the situation.",
