San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) returned to practice this morning after being sidelined last week. Joining him were linebacker Dre Greenlaw (groin), defensive tackle D.J. Jones, and wide receiver Travis Benjamin (concussion)


Wide receiver Jalen Hurd (knee), defensive tackle Kevin Givens (groin), and cornerback Emmanuel Moseley were absent from practice. Moseley is reportedly dealing with a hamstring issue.


Moseley's status might be something worth keeping an eye on this week. Earlier today, the 49ers announced the signing of veteran cornerback Josh Norman to a one-year deal.

Also reported earlier, the splint is off rookie quarterback Trey Lance's finger. However, the quarterback still did not throw during the portion of practice open to the media. Lance suffered a chipped bone in his index finger during the team's preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders on August 29. Head coach Kyle Shanahan had hoped the rookie could begin practicing today, but general manager John Lynch called that timeline "optimistic."

The 49ers are preparing for their season-opening road game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

49ers insider: If Brandon Aiyuk is traded, it will be before the draft

Brandon Aiyuk appears open to the possibility of playing elsewhere in 2024. If the San Francisco 49ers can't negotiate a favorable long-term deal with their star receiver, he knows someone else will. However, the 49ers primarily aim to retain Aiyuk for the long haul. The team exercised the fifth-year option on his contract but seeks to secure an extension before he retakes the field. General manager John Lynch recently praised Aiyuk, calling him one of his "favorite guys around the building." "He's a competitor. He's a warrior," Lynch added. "He plays with such physicality, also with grace, in the way some of the positions his body can get into. And then he's got a flair

How valuable is Brandon Aiyuk to the 49ers?

Brandon Aiyuk couldn't have chosen a better time to have a career year. In his fourth season in the league, the San Francisco 49ers standout wide receiver set career highs in receiving yards (1,342), yards per reception (17.9), yards per target (12.8) and catch percentage (71.4%).

But even with a breakout season in his rear view mirror, the question remains: Do John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan feel as if Aiyuk is worth a massive contract extension? On the surface you'd think the answer to that question would be yes, but the truth is things aren't always that simple when you're dealing with a
