San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's status as an ineligible player has continued for over eight months, and he can't attempt an NFL return unless he takes one step.
Aiyuk was placed on the 49ers' left squad list in December 2025 for going AWOL amid contract disputes from voided 2026 guarantees after failing to meet rehab targets for his torn ACL.
Aiyuk remains on the list and is ineligible to play for the 49ers or any other team in the NFL, and the 28-year-old must take one step to hopefully continue his NFL future on a new team.
The only way for Aiyuk to seek reinstatement into the league is by sending a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell requesting the same, and sending a copy to the 49ers, with whom Aiyuk has reportedly not been communicating since their disputes began.
Unless the Commissioner allows Aiyuk's reinstatement, neither the player nor the team can change his current contract status.
