San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has a long way to go in his recovery from a knee injury he suffered Week 7. However, head coach Kyle Shanahan had a positive update on Aiyuk when he spoke with media Saturday.
Aiyuk, who tore his ACL and MCL after taking a low hit against the Kansas City Chiefs, had surgery and is in the team facility going through his rehab.
“Yeah, he’s plugging along with that,” said Shanahan. “The rehab guys I don’t see too much of. They come in early in the morning and they’re usually out of here before we get off the practice field. But he went to L.A. for surgery, did the rehab there for a while, but he’s been back here like the last month or so going through his process, working hard. It’s a long process, but he’s on track.”
There’s still no clear date on when the 49ers expect Aiyuk to return, but his early progress is a good sign. The key will be ensuring the 2023 All-Pro doesn’t have any setbacks that might cost him even more time. Ideally Aiyuk would return at some point during training camp so he could ramp up for the regular season, but the team also isn’t going to rush the 26-year-old back into action.
Aiyuk hauled in 25 receptions for 374 yards in seven games in 2024. He’s up to 294 catches, 4,305 yards and 25 touchdowns in 69 games across four seasons.
The latest update on San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk brings good news on his recovery from a knee injury. Aiyuk, who suffered the injury during training camp, has been making significant progress in his rehab and is on track to return to the field sooner than expected.
According to team sources, Aiyuk has been diligent in his rehabilitation efforts and has shown no signs of setbacks. He has been participating in light drills and workouts, and is reportedly ahead of schedule in his recovery timeline.
The 49ers coaching staff is optimistic about Aiyuk’s potential return in the near future, with some speculating that he could be back on the field as soon as the next game. Aiyuk’s presence would be a huge boost to the team’s offense, as he has shown great promise as a playmaker and dynamic receiver.
Fans can look forward to seeing Aiyuk back in action soon, as he continues to progress in his recovery and prepare for his return to the field. Stay tuned for more updates on Aiyuk’s recovery and his potential return to the lineup for the 49ers.
