Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk recently visited with the San Francisco 49ers with his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, with the goal of being reinstated to the NFL. Several days after that visit, the league officially gave Aiyuk the green light to be reinstated.
Upon his return to the league, the 49ers were given a two-week roster exemption, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. San Francisco has until November 23 to determine what to do with the 28-year-old wideout. Until then, Aiyuk will remain with the organization, but will not take up a spot on the active roster.
“The NFL has reinstated 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk from Reserve/Left Squad, per the wire,” Pelissero reported. “The league has granted San Francisco a two-week roster exemption, giving the team until Nov. 23 to make a roster move.”
