The San Francisco 49ers' situation with disgruntled wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has finally hit a point of no return in the wake of him being placed on the reserve/left squad list, thereby ending his season without playing a snap but also indicating he'll be fully off the roster once the league new year hits in March of 2026.

Even head coach Kyle Shanahan admitted he hadn't spoken with the now-AWOL Aiyuk in over a month, and the coach's comments indicated he's moved on.
