"My understanding is Aiyuk has traveled with the team for the last preseason game, so that is perhaps a sign of good faith that he is with the team," Garafolo said.
The 49ers are set to face the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium at 7 p.m. PT.
Aiyuk also attended the 49ers' preseason game against the New Orleans Saints last weekend, watching from a luxury box at Levi's Stadium with the team's injured players.
San Francisco remains hopeful that a contract extension can be reached before the start of the regular season. Although Aiyuk is under contract and set to earn $14.124 million this season, he seeks to become one of the NFL's highest-paid receivers. His presence with the team for the final preseason game is a positive sign.
Meanwhile, the 49ers are navigating the financial challenges of maintaining a competitive roster for the foreseeable future while anticipating the need to make quarterback Brock Purdy one of the NFL's highest-paid players next year.
