49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk reinstated by NFL

Aiyuk met with the 49ers on Friday, but his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, offered little insight into the situation as he left the meeting, telling reporters only, "To be continued."

Before that meeting, Aiyuk briefly addressed the media.

"Nice to see you all. I'm feeling great, feeling healthy," the receiver said. "It's been a long recovery process, a long rehab process, but I'm back to 100 percent and looking to get reinstated into the National Football League."

Rosenhaus also declined to discuss Aiyuk's future, saying, "Don't really have any comment about where he's going to play. We'll keep that between us and the Niners. But obviously, we're here with all the right intentions."

The 49ers now have until November 23 to evaluate their options, including keeping Aiyuk on the roster, releasing him, or exploring a potential trade. Until then, the uncertainty surrounding the receiver's future is likely to continue.

Aiyuk last played in 2024 before suffering ACL and MCL injuries. Tensions between the wide receiver and the 49ers escalated during his recovery, eventually leading the organization to void guaranteed money in his contract.

Aiyuk subsequently cut off communication with the team and repeatedly criticized the 49ers on social media, seemingly harming his reputation around the NFL.
