The San Francisco 49ers have received a roster exemption following the NFL's reinstatement of wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk on Monday, November 9, 2026. The move allows the team to activate Aiyuk without immediately counting him against the active roster limit.
The exemption provides the 49ers with temporary roster flexibility as Aiyuk returns to the squad. Further details regarding the circumstances of his absence and the specific terms of the reinstatement were not immediately disclosed.
