49ers Put Brandon Aiyuk on Reserve/Left Squad List as Shanahan Says He Hasn’t Seen Him in a Month

Overview

  • San Francisco placed Aiyuk on the reserve/left squad list over the weekend, a rare designation that makes him ineligible for the rest of the 2025 season.
  • Kyle Shanahan told reporters he has not seen Aiyuk in a month, aligning with reports that the team has struggled to keep tabs on the receiver for weeks.
  • The Athletic previously reported the 49ers voided guaranteed money in Aiyuk’s 2026 contract year, and he did not file a grievance through the NFLPA.
  • Aiyuk has not played since a knee injury in October 2024 and had been rehabbing after starting 2025 on the PUP list.
  • The move fuels uncertainty about Aiyuk’s future with the franchise as the 49ers improved to 10-4 with a 37-24 win over the Titans.
