Brandon Aiyuk Likely to Begin Season on PUP List, but Not Ruled Out for Week 1

Thursday, July 10, 9:05 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is expected to start the 2025 season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, which would sideline him for the first four games as he recovers from ACL and MCL tears in his right knee that he suffered in October of last year, per 49ers Webzone's David Bonilla. The Niners have already said that Aiyuk won't be ready for the start of training camp on July 22, and he's unlikely to be ready to go for Week 1 against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 7. However, the 27-year-old wideout has looked great during his rehab this offseason, which suggests there's still a chance he could be ready for the season opener. San Fran will likely play it safe with Aiyuk, who disappointed with 25 catches for 374 yards and no touchdowns in 2024 before his injury. Even with Deebo Samuel Sr. gone, Aiyuk will face plenty of competition for targets when he returns, and will he even be the same receiver? His fantasy stock has taken a huge hit going into 2025.

Treylon Burks Looking to Prove Himself Right

Thursday, June 19, 3:00 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered during a special-teams drill last October, but the former first-round pick out of Arkansas is already running and going through drills this offseason. Burks' career has not gone to plan, as he has registered just 53 receptions for 699 yards and one touchdown in 27 career games since essentially replacing A.J. Brown in Tennessee. However, Burks is not concerned with the doubters and is self-motivated heading into 2025. "I am not going out to prove nobody wrong, I am going out to prove myself right, Burks said." While it would be a nice feel-good story if Burks breaks out, there's a chance he will be released by the Titans following training camp. The team has Calvin Ridley on the roster and added wideouts Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson via free agency. They also drafted Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Undrafted rookie Xavier Restrepo and 2024 NFL draft pick Jha'Quan Jackson are among other WRs fighting for a roster spot.
