Overview
- Aiyuk remains rehabbing ACL and MCL injuries with no practice window opened and only four regular-season games left.
- General manager John Lynch told KNBR there was “nothing to add” on Aiyuk, offering no new timetable or details.
- George Kittle said it doesn’t seem like Aiyuk will play this season, while Brock Purdy lamented losing a top target and blocker.
- The 49ers voided nearly $27 million in Aiyuk’s 2026 guarantees this summer, and reports say he did not contest the move.
- Without Aiyuk, San Francisco’s offense has slipped from its 2023 heights, and a thin 2026 receiver group may push the team to retain Jauan Jennings or seek outside help.
