San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has reacted to wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk filing for reinstatement, according to a report from The Comeback. The development comes as the team prepares for upcoming games in the 2026 NFL season.
Aiyuk, a key offensive weapon for the 49ers, had been absent from the lineup. His filing for reinstatement signals a potential return to active status. Shanahan's comments on the matter were noted in a story published Friday, November 6, 2026.
The 49ers previously played at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida, on November 12, 2023, as captured in a USA TODAY Sports photograph showing Shanahan during pregame warmups.
