The 49ers’ head coach Kyle Shanahan responds coolly to news that wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has sought reinstatement after being on the team’s reserve/left squad list. Reporting across outlets says Aiyuk filed for reinstatement on Wednesday, including through his representation, Drew Rosenhaus.
Despite the reinstatement filing, Shanahan indicates he is not anticipating A reunion. Fox News and other coverage highlights Shanahan’s “no expectation” stance, while Yardbarker and Newsweek frame his reaction as blunt and dismissive without adding additional specifics about timelines or terms. Overall, outlets agree on the core sequence: the reinstatement attempt is reported, and Shanahan’s public comment signals limited openness to a return.
