NFL has not yet reinstated Brandon Aiyuk from reserve/left squad list
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk has filed paperwork for reinstatement from the reserve/left squad list, with his agent stating the request was made on October 27, but the NFL has not yet approved it.
- The delay in reinstatement suggests the NFL and 49ers might be coordinating to buy time, potentially to recover up to $13 million from Aiyuk.
- Normally, reinstatement is a straightforward administrative process, as seen in past cases like Brett Favre's in 2008, but Aiyuk's situation remains unresolved.
- Without league reinstatement, Aiyuk's plan to report to the 49ers facility is complicated, as the team is not pressured to make decisions about him until the NFL acts.
