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 NBC Sports. The move signals a potential step toward Aiyuk's return to the active roster.
The filing was reported on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, by Josh Alper. Aiyuk, a key offensive weapon for the 49ers, had been placed on the reserve/left squad list earlier, though the specific circumstances surrounding his initial placement were not detailed in the initial report.
The reinstatement process, if approved, would allow Aiyuk to rejoin the team's active roster and participate in practices and games. The 49ers have not yet issued an official statement regarding the timeline for a potential return.
