49ers' John Lynch Gives 'No Absolutes' Update on Brandon Aiyuk's Return

The receiver remains on PUP with his 21-day practice window still unopened.

Overview

  • Lynch told KNBR the organization intends to bring Aiyuk back this season but offered "no absolutes" on his availability.
  • Aiyuk has not practiced with the team as his practice window has yet to open, despite eligibility since Week 5.
  • The wideout is rehabbing a significant knee injury highlighted by a torn ACL sustained last season.
  • Early preseason clips of limited route running had raised optimism, but the timetable has continued to slip into Week 11.
  • San Francisco has covered the void with a committee approach, with Christian McCaffrey leading the team in receptions and yards and other receivers rotating through larger roles.
