The San Francisco 49ers do not expect to have receiver Brandon Aiyuk on the field for the season-opening game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 7.

The 49ers' wide receiver room is a mess. Injuries to key players like Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall have left the wideout corps without many options. That's why the 49ers could be the perfect trade partner for a team with its own wide receiver issues. The Washington Commanders are amid a tense contract dispute with wideout Terry McLaurin.

49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk continues to rehab from tearing his ACL and MCL in October of last season. With Aiyuk still on the physically unable to perform list, General Manager John Lynch noted in a Thursday interview with KNBR that there is not a true timetable for Aiyuk’s return to play.
