Skrine (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, according to Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site.
EDGE Analysis
The outside linebacker entered the COVID-19 protocols Dec. 27 but has exited them quickly, meaning he should be available for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.

Skrine was signed to the Titans' active roster Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The cornerback was cut by the 49ers on Oct. 11 prior to being signed by the Titans on Tuesday. After playing in 12 games for the Bears last season, recording 66 tackles and three pass deflections, Skrine has only played three snaps on special teams this season. He will provide depth in the Tennessee secondary.

Skrine was cut from the practice squad Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skrine had only been with the 49ers for a couple of weeks. The 11-year vet was active Week 4, but only played three special teams snaps. Skrine was a regular in the Bears defense the last two seasons and now will look to potentially continue his career elsewhere. In a corresponding move, San Francisco activated cornerback Davontae Harris from IR.

Skrine signed with the 49ers on Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Injuries are stacking up in the 49ers' secondary. Jason Verrett tore his ACL in Week 1. K'Waun Williams (calf) is expected to miss a few weeks. And Josh Norman is dealing with a lung contusion. Skrine, 32, averaged 46.3 defensive snaps across 12 games for the Bears last season, so he'll add dependable depth while the Niners heal.

Skrine (concussion) has been released by the Bears, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Skrine was entering the final year of his contract with Chicago, but they have ultimately opted to go in a different direction. He recorded 112 tackles (89 solo) and three passes defensed during his two-year stint with the team. Besides the Bears, the 31-year-old has spent time with the Browns and Jets during his time in the league. He will now look for a new opportunity.

Skrine (concussion) is ruled out for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Skrine still has yet to resume practicing or playing since suffering a concussion Week 13, and he'll be unavailable for Chicago's first postseason matchup. If the Bears win Sunday and make it to the NFC divisional round, it's possible that Skrine could progress through the league's five-step concussion protocol and become available.
