Brandon Aiyuk reported to the 49ers' facility amid uncertainties about participating in practice without a contract extension. General manager John Lynch anticipates Aiyuk's presence and support for the team this year.
Aiyuk is scheduled to receive a guaranteed $14.124 million under his fifth-year option. He was a key player last season with impressive stats and enthusiastic blocking in the team's offensive system.
Aiyuk's future with the team has been in question since the 49ers' Super Bowl loss. His contract extension status is similar to other key players like George Kittle, Fred Warner, Deebo Samuel, and Nick Bosa.
