San Francisco 49ers Confirm Wide Receiver Brandon Aiyuk No Longer on Roster
General manager John Lynch said Brandon Aiyuk is on a left‑squad designation and is not on the 90‑man roster, stating the team will focus on players who are present and wishing Aiyuk and his family well. Aiyuk has not reported to the team’s training facility since December and was placed on the reserve/left‑team list after suffering a torn ACL and MCL on Oct. 20, 2024. The franchise voided his future financial guarantees, estimated at $27‑30 million, after the injury and subsequent disputes over his rehabilitation and social‑media comments. No trade has materialized; the 49ers said they are evaluating free‑agent and draft options to replace him as they move forward without Aiyuk.
