The NFL has reinstated San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk from the Reserve/Left Squad list, per the NFL’s transaction wire, after Aiyuk reported for his physical.
The 49ers were also granted a roster exemption, per the transaction wire. Commissioner Roger Goodell has granted a two-game roster exemption for Aiyuk that will expire on Monday, November 23.
According to The Athletic’s Jonathan Jones, it’s a two-week unpaid exemption for Aiyuk, since he’s reporting as a late player.
Matt Barrows
believes Aiyuk’s future has already been written. “It’s the same deal where he’s part of the team but really not part of the team. And then they, you know, they cut him ultimately. I don’t know if he would be ready to play in 2026. You’re picking him up because you think you can get him onto your practice field for a little bit, maybe in a game, but you’re picking him up for 2027.”
Barrows said there was “pretty much 0% chance” that Aiyuk would play for the 49ers again.
