Story summary
Kyle Shanahan, head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, dismissed any possibility of bringing back former wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk with a simple "No" after his team's victory against the Miami Dolphins. Aiyuk was cut by the 49ers during the offseason amid public disputes and social media drama between him and Shanahan, including an incident where Aiyuk seemed to mock Shanahan following a car crash. Despite recent injuries to several other wide receivers—Mike Evans injured his ankle, Demarcus Robinson was carted off with an injury, Christian Kirk and De’Zhaun Stribling are on injured reserve, and Ricky Pearsall is out for the season—the team remains committed to moving forward without Aiyuk.

But even this desperate situation isn’t making San Francisco consider Aiyuk, which speaks volumes about the veteran receiver’s standing.
