Rosenhaus told ESPN's Adam Schefter he is \"working on getting him back to work and playing again in the NFL.\"\n\nAiyuk hasn't played a snap in more than two years, sidelined by a multiligament knee injury, and had been without an agent for months before this hire. The timing is notable: San Francisco is coming out of its Week 8 bye banged up at receiver, with Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel and several other top options dealing with injuries.\n\nAiyuk himself hasn't made any public push to return until now, but the agent hire signals that's changing. For a 49ers offense currently scraping for healthy bodies at wideout, a healthy Aiyuk would be a significant addition if he can actually get back on the field.\n\nThere's no word yet on a timeline for his return or whether San Francisco remains the team he'll play for, but the hire of Rosenhaus suggests Aiyuk is serious about making it happen.","published_at":"2026-11-02T22:19:02.262734+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"What Brandon Aiyuk hiring a new agent for NFL return means for 49ers","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/brandon-aiyuk-hiring-agent-nfl-203302781.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"WR Aiyuk hires Rosenhaus as agent, eyes return to NFL","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50360681/brandon-aiyuk-hires-drew-rosenhaus-agent-eyes-return-nfl"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk hires new agent, plans to return to NFL: Sources","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7748521/2026/11/02/brandon-aiyuk-agent-49ers-drew-rosenhaus/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Brandon Aiyuk hires new representation; aims to play in the NFL again","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/brandon-aiyuk-hires-representation-aims-203636277.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Brandon Aiyuk hires Drew Rosenhaus in attempt to get wideout 'back to work and playing again in the NFL'","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/brandon-aiyuk-hires-drew-rosenhaus-in-attempt-to-get-wideout-back-to-work-and-playing-again-in-the-nfl-204338966.html"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Embattled ex-49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk takes huge step toward return to NFL","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/11/02/sports/brandon-aiyuk-hires-drew-rosenhaus-as-his-new-representation/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Brandon Aiyuk signals potential return ahead of trade deadline","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/brandon-aiyuk-signals-potential-return-211256698.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Brandon Aiyuk hires super agent.
