49ers activate Brandon Aiyuk, others from reserve/COVID-19 list, announce other roster moves
The San Francisco 49ers have announced that the following three players have been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.
That leaves just one 49ers player — practice squad tight end Daniel Helm — on the list. It also means all three will be able to travel with the team to Arizona today.
The 49ers look to set up a new base of operations there for the next few weeks and play their home games at State Farm Stadium. The move is due to new COVID-19 restrictions that prohibit collegiate and professional contact sports in Santa Clara County.
The 49ers also announced the following moves:
- Safety Kai Nacua has been promoted from the practice squad to the active roster.
- Safety Chris Edwards has been signed to the practice squad. He was waived on Monday.
- The practice window has been opened for linebacker Mark Nzeocha (injured reserve, quad)

By the end of the 2020 season, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk looked a lot more comfortable in the San Francisco 49ers offense and appeared ready to leap to becoming a dangerous offensive weapon.
From Week 7 through Week 15, Aiyuk averaged 94.7 receiving yards per game through six appearances. To put that into perspective, maintaining that average throughout a 16-game season would clock in at 1,514 receiving yards.
Aiyuk has just scratched the surface. That has 49ers general manager John Lynch excited. The young receiver would have benefited more from a normal offseason leading into his rookie year. That didn't happen, and it may have contributed to a slower start.
"Brandon Aiyuk, he's everything we thought he would be, and a little bit more,"
