Drew Rosenhaus, the agent for Brandon Aiyuk, has facilitated the wide receiver's reinstatement to the NFL after a period of estrangement from the San Francisco 49ers. Aiyuk was placed on the team's reserve/left squad list in December 2025 following actions and statements that reportedly angered the team.
Rosenhaus took over Aiyuk's representation a few weeks ago, and the relationship between the player and the 49ers has reportedly moved toward a resolution. Aiyuk was reinstated on Monday after reporting for a physical. The 49ers have been granted a two-game roster exemption to finalize Aiyuk's situation, which could involve a trade or release. Coach Kyle Shanahan stated that the exemption "means absolutely nothing to our team." It remains unclear if Aiyuk agreed to refund any past bonus money to the 49ers. Aiyuk has not played an NFL game since October 2024 due to a knee injury.

"I am that closer," Garrett said after the game. "I was born with it."

Quarterback Updates
In other NFL news, the Arizona Cardinals are expected to turn to Carson Beck at quarterback following reports that Gardner Minshew may require season-ending surgery for a torn UCL in his throwing elbow. The New York Giants received a scare when quarterback J.J. McCarthy left a game with a hip injury, but the team anticipates he will be healthy enough to play in their upcoming Thursday night game against the Washington Commanders. The team's reliance on McCarthy over Jameis Winston has been noted as a sign of McCarthy's progress.
The Dallas Cowboys are facing criticism for their defensive performance and penalty issues, despite a recent victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
