A day before the 49ers earned their 10th win of the year, it was reported that the team will officially be without wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk for the remainder of the 2025 season. The 49ers have placed Aiyuk on the reserve/left squad list, making him ineligible to return to the team this season.
Aiyuk lands on the reserve/left squad list after it was reported last month that the 49ers voided the guarantees in his contract for 2026 after he failed to attend meetings and take part in team activities. Aiyuk signed a four-year, $120 million extension with the 49ers before the 2024 season, but tore multiple ligaments in his knee midway through the season. He has not returned to the field since, and now won’t return this season.
