Lynch Has ‘Nothing to Add’ as 49ers Teammates Doubt Brandon Aiyuk’s Return

An offseason split looms after the team voided nearly $27 million in 2026 guarantees during his rehab.

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.
