San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has filed for reinstatement and intends to report to the team, according to a report from the San Francisco Chronicle. The move raises questions about the organization's next steps regarding the player's status.
Aiyuk, who participated in training camp drills in July 2025, has been absent from the team pending the reinstatement process. The 49ers now face decisions on how to integrate him back into the roster and whether any contractual or disciplinary matters remain unresolved.
The team has not publicly detailed its specific options, which could include activating Aiyuk immediately, placing him on a reserve list, or negotiating further terms. The situation develops as the 49ers navigate their receiver depth chart for the upcoming season.
