Overview

• Aiyuk signed a four-year, $120 million extension last August making him San Francisco’s No. 1 wide receiver
• He tore his ACL, MCL and meniscus in Week 7 of the 2024 season, ending his campaign
• The 49ers plan to place him on the Physically Unable to Perform list to open the season, a move that carries at least a four-game absence
• Insider Matt Maiocco reports Aiyuk’s knee is ahead of schedule and could be ready by Week 1 of 2025
• Injury analyst Dr. Deepak Chona warns that "ahead of schedule" rarely predicts an accelerated return and still expects him back around October
