The Lead Up to Brandon Aiyuk Being Reinstated
Aiyuk has not played in an NFL game since Oct. 24, 2024, against the Kansas City Chiefs, where he tore his ACL, MCL, and meniscus in his right knee.
Since his injury, the 49ers have voided roughly $27 million in guaranteed money on Aiyuk’s contract. Aiyuk did not rebut it.
Then, Aiyuk did not report to the 49ers’ training camp this July.
However, Aiyuk finally turned in his paperwork in order to get reinstated on Wednesday, Nov. 4.
The WR and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, then reported to the 49ers’ training facility on Friday, Nov. 6.
