49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk's Potential Return Date Revealed
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. It's been nearly 300 days since San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk last played a down of football. The 49ers desperately need the star wideout, who tore his ACL and MCL in a Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, back in the lineup after trading Pro Bowl WR Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders during the offseason. The rest of San Francisco's receiver corps is also banged up with Jauan Jennings battling a calf injury, Jacob Cowing a hamstring injury, and Equanimeous St. Brown placed on season-ending injured reserve with a foot injury. While Aiyuk seems to be on track with his recovery, head coach Kyle Shanahan updates reporters on Monday as to when they can expect to see the All-Pro WR back in the team's lineup. "49ers HC Kyle Shanahan estimated today to reporters that WR Brandon Aiyuk — who is recovering from a significant knee injury — could be back for Week 6," ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.

Brandon Aiyuk #11 of the San Francisco 49ers catches a pass to score a touchdown during an NFL football game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on December 3, 2023 in Philadelphia, had just 25 catches on 47 targets for 374 yards last season (he had only one game with more than five receptions and 100 or more yards), and he was on track for just 60 receptions and 908 yards had he not gotten injured — a steep decrease from his previous two breakout years when he averaged 76 catches, 1,178 yards, and 7.5 touchdowns. Aiyuk is one of many 49ers offensive skill position players including Jennings, Cowing, St. Brown, plus running backs Isaac Guerendo, Ameer Abdullah and Jordan James, and fullback Kyle Juszczyk, to find himself on the team' injured list during camp. More NFL: ESPN Analyst Proposes Blockbuster Micah Parsons-Bills Trade With Aiyuk out, 2024 first-round pick Ricky Pearsall will likely step into his role at San Francisco's WR1, but another receiver to keep an eye on is Russell Gage, who's been a standout during training camp and caught Shanahan's eye. "He's definitely given himself a chance; I think Russ had a really good offseason," Shanahan said, via 49ers on SI. "We got him last year to put on our practice squad, and you could see him throughout the whole year working to get his legs back and to get back in receiver shape and be able to handle the cuts after his injuries. "I think the way he finished last year was really positive. He put the work in this offseason and I think he's back to being a really good NFL player now and fighting to make this team."

Ex-NFL QB Utters Bold Take on Cowboys' Standoff With Micah Parsons
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Over the past two weeks, the biggest storyline in the NFL has been Micah Parsons' standoff with the Dallas Cowboys. In light of the latest developments, one former quarterback gave a shocking observation of the situation. Parsons has been a pillar for the Cowboys on the defensive side of the ball, developing into one of the league's top talents. Now eligible for an extension, the All-Pro linebacker is eager to lock down a new deal. Despite Parsons being such a high-level talent, Dallas has opted to drag things out like they've done in the past with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. This approach has come with some drawbacks, mainly Parsons growing more frustrated with the organization. Things reached a fever pitch earlier this month when Parsons decided to request a trade due to little to no progress being made in contract negotiations.

More Photo by/Getty Images Since Parsons told the world of his trade request via a viral social media post, he remains at odds with the Cowboys. Recent reports have stated that he and owner Jerry Jones haven't spoken since he voiced his desire to be moved out of Dallas. With there being no end in sight to this standoff, Dan Orlovsky gave his thoughts on the situation during Monday's episode of ESPN's Get Up. The former NFL quarterback thinks the issues stem down to a personal level, not just business. "I don't think they like him," Orlovsky said of the Cowboys. "I don't think they like each other. I could be dead wrong...A lot of money stuff gets personal. There's something that feels like he doesn't like them, they don't like him. It is a personal dislike that isn't attached to just money. Trade request was 10 days ago and we haven't talked?" "I don't think they like each other." —@danorlovsky7 on Micah Parsons and the Cowboys — Get Up (@GetUpESPN) August 11, 2025 Also read: Dallas Cowboys TE Makes Positive Statement Amid Injury Scare Even though the relationship between the organization and star player seems to be tethered, a trade is an unlikely outcome at this point. The Cowboys have made it clear that they don't want to move on from Parsons. That said, the two sides have a lot of work to do to repair things after a rocky couple of months. Parsons remains with the team, but remains limited due to a back ailment. With the start of the regular season about three weeks away, it remains unclear if the star linebacker will be on the field for Dallas in Week 1.
