49ers star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk tore his ACL last season and spent the offseason rehabbing the injury.
Aiyuk was expected to come back at some time during this season, but ultimately was placed on the reserved/left squad list, which ended any hope of a return to the field for San Francisco. The 49ers voided the guaranteed money in his 2026 contract, leading many to read between the lines on the veteran's future with the franchise.
