Added Weight Responsible For Brandon Aiyuk's Poor Start?

San Francisco 49ers second-year wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk said he put on extra weight in the offseason in an effort to get stronger, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said that "possibly" is the reason for the pass-catcher's slow start in 2021.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman (hamstring) and linebacker Lavonte David (ankle) both returned to limited practices on Wednesday, while outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (finger, shoulder) didn't practice.
