NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is “still weeks away” from returning.

03 October 2025

Aiyuk’s recovery from ACL and MCL tears suffered in Week 7, 2024, continues. The remaining 49ers pass catchers are only in moderately better health, with TE George Kittle (hamstring), WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) and WR Jauan Jennings (ankle/ribs) currently rehabbing injuries of their own. Hopefully, Aiyuk can return before too long. Until then, he remains stashed on injured reserve roster spots.
