49ers Won't Open Brandon Aiyuk's Practice Window This Week

Wednesday, November 26, 3:44 PM

The San Francisco 49ers will not open the 21-day practice window for wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) this week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The same goes for fellow wideout Jacob Cowing (hamstring). A report surfaced last week that the 49ers voided guarantees in Aiyuk's four-year contract extension, which could lead to the 27-year-old former first-rounder sitting out the entire 2025 campaign. If that happens, the 49ers would likely release him at season's end. Fantasy managers who have been stashing Aiyuk all season long might not get to use him at all. It's good news for the rest-of-season outlooks for both Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall, as well as tight end George Kittle. Aiyuk has been recovering from his season-ending injury last year, in which he tore both his ACL and MCL.
