Brandon Aiyuk, wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, will be eagerly waiting to return to the field after being on the Physically Unable to Perform List since Week 7 of the previous NFL season. Aiyuk tore his ACL, for which he underwent surgery and rehabilitation. It looks like the player will miss the entirety of the 2025 NFL season as well, as he continues to work on his rehab program.
Meanwhile, Aiyuk’s wife, Rochelle, whom he married earlier this year, is working hard on her fitness goals. Rochelle shared a mirror selfie on her Instagram story, where she shows off her abs. Aiyuk’s wife is definitely proud of her hard work and referred to her mid-riff as a “crumb of abs”.

While Brandon Aiyuk continues to wait and hope that his knee is completely healed soon, his team the San Francisco 49ers will be gearing up for their next face-off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While the 49ers will come to the matchup after winning against the Rams, the Bucs will be coming after losing to the Eagles in Week 4.
The San Francisco 49ers have also been unfortunate to experience injuries so early on in the season. The 49ers are currently playing without tight end George Kittle, who got injured in the season opener. The team’s starting quarterback, Brock Purdy, also had injury woes which seem to have resurfaced.

Brandon Aiyuk’s Return This Season Is Highly Questionable
Brandon Aiyuk will most likely be seen in action only in the 2026 NFL season, according to recent reports from the team. Until then, the San Francisco 49ers will have to try and keep the rest of their wide-outs as healthy as possible.
Perhaps the biggest injury concern for the San Francisco 49ers is that of quarterback Brock Purdy. Purdy injured his toe early on in the season and was out for a couple of weeks. However, he managed to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars. But this was definitely a mistake since the talented quarterback reinjured his toe. It looks like the quarterback will be out for some time before he makes a proper comeback to the field.
