San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has been reinstated by the NFL, the league announced Tuesday. The move clears Aiyuk to return to team activities immediately.
The reinstatement comes after Aiyuk was previously placed on the commissioner's exempt list or suspended, though specific details regarding the nature and duration of his absence were not disclosed in the initial announcement.
Aiyuk, a key offensive weapon for the 49ers, now rejoins the team as they prepare for the remainder of the 2026 season. His return provides a significant boost to San Francisco's passing attack.
