Week 6 is a road contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see them around Week 6. That could mean Week 10, or it could mean Week 5. That\u2019s the area where I start thinking about it, which is a long ways away,\u201d Shanahan said when asked about Aiyuk and safety <strong>Malik Mustapha<\/strong>\u2018s injury timelines, via <em>95.7 The Game<\/em>. \u201cI know it\u2019s not Week 1 or anything like that, so something I\u2019m not thinking about too much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Week 6 return would mark nearly 11 months removed from surgery for Aiyuk. He suffered the injury in last season\u2019s Week 7 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Aiyuk finished the 2024 season with 25 receptions for 374 yards after tallying a career-high 1,342 yards the year prior.<\/p>\n<p>Aiyuk is currently on the physically unable to perform list (PUP). General manager <strong>John Lynch<\/strong> said last Thursday on \u201cThe Murph &amp; Markus Show\u201d that he didn\u2019t think Aiyuk would be ready for the regular season opener against the Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s just steps that you have to continue to hit and I\u2019ll continue to say that Brandon is doing well in his rehab,\u201d Lynch said. \u201cDo we have an exact date right now? No. I don\u2019t think it\u2019ll be Week 1, but hopefully I\u2019m surprised. We want him fully healthy. He had a significant injury, so you have to do a significant rehab.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-brandon-aiyuk-remains-out-49ers-dealing-with-multiple-injuries\">Brandon Aiyuk remains out, 49ers dealing with multiple injuries<\/h2>\n<p>The 49ers weren\u2019t the same team without Aiyuk, who signed a four-year, $120 million contract extension prior to the 2024 season. Dealing with injuries up and down its roster, including running back <strong>Christian McCaffrey<\/strong>, San Francisco dropped seven of its last eight games to finish 6-11.<\/p>\n<p>The injury bug has already hit the 49ers. Receiver <strong>Jauan Jennings<\/strong> has been nursing a calf injury throughout training camp. Jennings did a light workout on a side field Monday. Rookie wideout <strong>Jordan Watkins<\/strong> sustained a high ankle sprain and is expected to miss about a month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyle Shanahan told reporters Monday that receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who is recovering from a torn ACL and MCL, could return for Week 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":76433,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
