Brandon Aiyuk Still Not Practicing Wednesday

What They're Saying

HC Kyle Shanahan before Wednesday's practice: "I haven't heard anything. I've been working on the 53-[man roster], the practice squad — I haven't talked to him. I know he's been cleared by our doctors so I hope that he's out there practicing today."

GM John Lynch: "At some point, you've got to play."
