San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has filed for reinstatement from the team's reserve/left squad list, according to a report from ProFootball Talk on Wednesday. The move signals a potential return to the active roster for the 2020 first-round draft pick.
Aiyuk, who has been a key offensive contributor for the 49ers since his rookie season, was placed on the reserve/left squad list earlier this year. The reinstatement filing begins a process that could see him rejoin the team's active lineup, pending league approval and roster considerations.
The 49ers have not yet commented publicly on the timeline for Aiyuk's potential return to game action. His availability would provide a significant boost to San Francisco's receiving corps as the team navigates the latter portion of the 2026 NFL season.
