Aiyuk’s Reinstatement Exposes Mixed Signals From 49ers’ Leadership

Kyle Shanahan has reportedly signaled distance from a Brandon Aiyuk reunion, while GM John Lynch previously said “everything’s possible” as Aiyuk seeks reinstatement. Aiyuk’s agent says he is healthy and ready, but that claim is not independent confirmation; no reunion, release, or trade is confirmed. The contract and medical-staff fallout leaves San Francisco’s next move uncertain.
