According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, as expected, Brandon Aiyuk is scheduled to practice with his teammates for the first time since February.

Last week, Aiyuk signed a four-year, $120 million contract extension, keeping him with the 49ers through the 2028 season. The signing followed a lengthy contract standoff during which the receiver requested a trade before reporting to training camp. Aiyuk has not participated in practices or preseason games, effectively "holding in" during negotiations.

RELATED Christian McCaffrey expected to return for Tuesday practice

Running back Christian McCaffrey is also expected to return to the practice field after missing most of training camp and the entire preseason due to a calf injury.

RELATED 49ers, Trent Williams agree to reworked contract, ending holdout

Meanwhile, All-Pro tackle Trent Williams is finally reporting to the 49ers following a prolonged holdout. He and the team have reportedly agreed to a restructured contract.

With their regular-season opener against the New York Jets just six days away, the 49ers are approaching full strength as they gear up for another championship run. The team is favored to represent the NFC in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
