Brandon Aiyuk's reinstatement from the reserve list remains stalled after a Friday meeting with the 49ers.

Aiyuk, his agent Drew Rosenhaus and the 49ers met Friday without resolving the situation, and Rosenhaus said the matter is to be continued.

Aiyuk told ESPN he is back to 100% and looking to get reinstated, and Kyle Shanahan said he couldn't care less about the meeting.
