The San Francisco 49ers, ramping up for training camp, made a flurry of Friday moves that feature Brandon Aiyuk …
But not just Aiyuk.
He was moved to the 49ers’ physically unable to perform (PUP) list on Friday. … but the team also announced that fellow wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has also landed on thee PUP list.
Pearsall had been dealing with a hamstring injury during the team’s OTAs; there doesn’t seem to be grave concern here and he can of course be activated at any point during training camp.
Technically, the same thing goes for the standout Aiyuk … but his timetable figures to be more distant. Yes, he too can be activated at any point, but even amid a new wave of rehab optimism, he i expected to remain sidelined for a time – maybe a time that eats into the start of the Niners’ regular season – as he works his way back from a torn ACL and MCL.
Also on the Niners’ PUP list for the moment: Offensive lineman Andre Dillard, defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos, safety Malik Mustapha and linebacker Curtis Robinson. Offensive lineman Ben Bartch and safety George Odum were meanwhile placed on the team’s non-football injury (NFI) list.
