The 49ers finished up Thursday’s practice with some good and some bad news. The good: Brandon Aiyuk returned and reportedly looked like his usual self, showing no effects from his hamstring injury. I wouldn’t expect to see Aiyuk showcased on Sunday as he’s been out for some time, but the fact that he’ll suit up and be an option is fantastic news for the offense.
For the second day in a row, Ben Garland practiced. That’s promising, and if Garland is out there on Friday for the third day in a row, I’d guess he plays.
