The San Francisco 49ers gathered for training camp this week, and general manager John Lynch met with media at the outset to discuss the various happenings around the team. One of the biggest subjects of interest was Brandon Aiyuk and how far along he is in his recovery process after the All-Pro wideout tore his ACL during the 2024 season.
Lynch offered a mixed bag of updates on that front. He said the team is "encouraged" by Aiyuk's progress, but was firm in stating there is no current expectation for his anticipated return to the field. Lynch said the 49ers are "not anywhere close to having a concrete timeline" for Aiyuk, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Aiyuk was placed on the PUP list to start training camp.
