What happened: San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that he has no expectation for wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to rejoin the team, stating he has mentally moved on from the situation. Shanahan reiterated his stance from September that Aiyuk is no longer considered an option for the roster.

Why it matters: The remarks follow news that Brandon Aiyuk submitted paperwork to be reinstated from the reserve/left squad list earlier in the day. The 6-1 49ers have operated without the wideout all season, leaving his standing unresolved as front offices prepare for the Nov. 10 trade deadline.

What to watch: San Francisco faces the Nov. 10 trade deadline to decide whether to retain Aiyuk's rights or explore potential trade options.
