NFL Media's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo first reported Tuesday, citing sources, that Aiyuk would attend training camp.
Aiyuk held out of the team's OTA and mandatory minicamp practices earlier this offseason as he continues negotiating a lucrative contract extension with the 49ers.
After months of negotiations yielding little progress, Aiyuk reportedly requested a trade from the 49ers on July 16, though the team reportedly has no intention of moving the star wide receiver.
Aiyuk has been vocal directly and indirectly this offseason about his displeasure with his ongoing situation but made it clear he expects to play for San Francisco during the 2024 NFL season.
