The San Francisco 49ers' last domino heading into the regular season is to extend star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. As veterans reported to the facility yesterday for training camp, Aiyuk did report, but it is uncertain if this is a “hold-in” situation. However you slice it, it is an excellent thing Aiyuk is in the building.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Aiyuk won’t practice due to back and neck soreness: “He’s going to stay out of practice, which is obviously a ‘hold in.’ It’s what we expected. I understand the situation fully.”
An extension with a few commas in it would have Aiyuk feeling fresh and better than ever.
