Aiyuk is still recovering from the ACL and MCL injuries he suffered in October 2024 and is expected to start the 2025 season on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. Still, seeing him running routes and hauling in passes is an encouraging sign that he'll be ready to contribute at some point this season.
The veteran wideout isn't expected to be ready to suit up until Week 6—at the earliest.
Last season, Aiyuk appeared in just seven games before his injuries, recording 25 receptions for 374 yards. He is entering his sixth NFL season, with the 49ers hoping he can provide a boost on offense, providing another weapon for quarterback Brock Purdy.
