San Francisco star receiver Brandon Aiyuk is expected to practice for the first time this summer, but is no closer to signing a long-term extension with the 49ers.
wasn't at the start of practice on Wednesday despite the team saying he was cleared by doctors to participate, raising the temperature of a contract “hold in” that has been a cloud over the 49ers since the offseason.
Both Shanahan and general manager John Lynch said before practice that Aiyuk had been cleared by team doctors and the expectation was that he would practice. But Aiyuk was not on the field during the portion open to reporters. Players can be suspended for up to four weeks without pay for “conduct detrimental to the team” if there is a pattern of misbehavior.“I’ll deal with that when that happens, if that happens,” he said.
Lynch said there has been “good communication” with Williams' camps with both sides proposing ideas but no breakthroughs as of yet.
