John Lynch: 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk doing 'tremendous job coming back' from knee injury

John Lynch: 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk doing 'tremendous job coming back' from knee injury

Our Summary

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is expected to miss training camp and the start of the 2025 season as he recovers from a torn ACL and MCL. However, he's making a strong recovery, according to General Manager John Lynch. Despite past contract disputes and his injury, the 49ers remain committed to Aiyuk, having signed him to a four-year, $120 million extension. Lynch emphasized that Aiyuk is a crucial part of the team, and they are proud of his progress. The main concern remains how much of the upcoming season Aiyuk will miss and how quickly he can return to form post-recovery.
