John Lynch isn't confident San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will play in their Week 1 game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Lynch said he’s excited to watch the 49ers’ class develop and expects each of them to carve out a role. Stout’s development is pivotal for salary cap reasons. The 49ers’ decision to pay Deommodore Lenoir his extension means Lenoir is no longer making slot cornerback money. He’s paid to lock down the best of the best on the outside.

The receiver position remains uncertain in the case of the San Francisco 49ers with Week 1 drawing closer. Both star wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings are sidelined through injury, and in each case, there is no firm timeline for a return.
