Overview
- General manager John Lynch said there is no exact timetable for Brandon Aiyuk and he is unlikely to be cleared for Week 1 after starting camp on the reserve/PUP list.
- NFL rules mandate that a reserve/PUP designation forces Aiyuk to miss at least the first four games, making Week 6 against the Buccaneers the earliest realistic comeback.
- Aiyuk continues to rehab ACL and MCL tears sustained in October 2024 and will progress through milestone-based recovery before rejoining practice.
- Jauan Jennings has been sidelined since late July by a lingering calf strain with no set return date and has requested a contract extension ahead of entering the final year of his deal.
- With both veteran receivers out, the 49ers are increasing reps for younger pass-catchers in training camp as they balance depth-chart decisions with cautious rehabilitation.
