49ers Encouraged by Brandon Aiyuk's Progress, WR Remains Without Timeline

Tuesday, July 22, 2:37 PM

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch says the team is "encouraged" about wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) recovery from the ACL and MCL tears that ended his 2024 season last October. However, Aiyuk is "not anywhere close to having a concrete timeline" to return to practices, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Aiyuk was placed on the active/physically unable to perform list on Friday, which means he can theoretically be activated at any point this offseason. Nevertheless, previous reporting has indicated Aiyuk is unlikely to be ready to go for the start of the regular season. In his absence, San Francisco will rely more heavily on receivers Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, Demarcus Robinson, and Jacob Cowing. Rookie fourth-round wideout Jordan Watkins could also get more of a look in camp.

Wan'Dale Robinson Wants More Downfield Opportunities this Season

Saturday, July 12, 10:27 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has repeatedly expressed his displeasure regarding his role throughout the offseason. The 24-year-old, who played nearly 80% of his snaps in the slot last season, is hoping to get more action on the outside in 2025, potentially opening the door for additional downfield catches. He is coming off his best season with the Giants, amassing career-highs in receptions (93), receiving yards (699) and touchdowns (three). Robinson was also one of the NFL's most targeted receivers inside the red zone. With new quarterbacks under center, specifically, Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and rookie Jaxson Dart, it could take time for the offense to get on the same page. At the same time, Malik Nabers is the No. 1 option on the depth chart, leaving little room for anyone else to be involved. However, Robinson may get his wish if Nabers or Darius Slayton get injured at some point during the year. Even then, Robinson isn't expected to be a consistent fantasy producer.
