The NFL has reinstated wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk from the reserve/left squad list, the league announced Tuesday. The move forces the San Francisco 49ers to make a corresponding roster decision regarding the 2020 first-round pick.
Aiyuk, who has been on the reserve list, is now eligible to return to the active roster. The 49ers must decide whether to activate him, place him on injured reserve, or make another roster move to accommodate his return.
The 26-year-old wideout has been a key part of San Francisco's offense since being selected 25th overall in the 2020 NFL Draft. His return provides the team with additional depth at the receiver position as they navigate the latter portion of the 2026 season.
