The NFL has reinstated disgruntled wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, clearing a path for his return to the San Francisco 49ers. The league also granted the team a two-week roster exemption, giving it flexibility as it decides how to proceed. Aiyuk had been on the reserve/left squad list, a status that kept him away from the team. The 49ers now face a decision on whether to keep him, trade him, or find a new path forward. The move sets up a pivotal stretch for both the player and the franchise.
