The NFL has reinstated wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk from the reserve/left squad list, the league announced Tuesday. The move forces the San Francisco 49ers to make a corresponding roster decision regarding the 26-year-old pass catcher.
Aiyuk, who has been with the 49ers since being drafted in the first round in 2020, was placed on the reserve/left squad list earlier this season. His reinstatement restores him to the team's active roster pool, but San Francisco must now determine whether to activate him to the 53-man roster, place him on injured reserve, or explore other roster options.
The 49ers have not yet announced their planned course of action. Aiyuk recorded 75 receptions for 1,015 yards and seven touchdowns during the 2023 season, establishing himself as one of the league's emerging receiving talents.
