Ayuk's return target is being adjusted
The San Francisco 49ers will be without their top wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk, for the start of the new season as he recovers from a serious knee injury. The target date that can wear the NFL jerseys for his return has been determined, but is still being adjusted.
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that Aiyuk's current return target is Week 6 of the 2025 regular season. However, based on current progress, he is expected to return in time for the 49ers' game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on October 12th.
The 27-year-old Ayuk is about to enter his sixth season in the professional league , Last offseason, he finally got a long-term contract after a long struggle and confirmed that he will continue to wear the San Francisco 49ers football jersey. During his absence, another first-round wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is expected to take on more responsibilities.
