Exum was waived by the 49ers on Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old suited up in the final four games of the season for the 49ers, playing in just a special teams role. Exum has recorded 64 tackles (53 solo) and an interception in 51 games over his five-year NFL career.

Exum signed with the 49ers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Exum played three games for the 49ers earlier in the year before being cut. His services are necessary again, though, as Jaquiski Tartt is dealing with a fractured rib. Even if Tartt sits out Sunday against the Saints, it's unsettled whether Exum will have a role on defense or just stick to special teams.

The 49ers released Exum on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Exum played mainly on special teams through three games with the Niners. The team promoted Marcell Harris from the practice spot to replace him. Exum could provide solid secondary depth if he's signed by another franchise.

Exum signed a one-year deal with the 49ers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Exum re-signed with the 49ers in March but was released at Saturday's roster cutdowns, only to end up back with the team a day later. The 28-year-old played more defensive snaps in 2018 than he did across his first three seasons and had 40 tackles (34 solo), one sack, one interception and one forced fumble.

Exum signed a one-year, $895,000 contract with the 49ers on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Exum started eight games for the 49ers last season while appearing in 15, after beginning the season on special teams. He recorded 40 tackles, one sack and one interception which he returned for a touchdown. The 27-year-old projects to serve as a solid depth piece 2019.

Exum (concussion) is expected to start with Jaquiski Tartt out for Monday's contest against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Exum has played sparingly, acting mainly as a special team's player through the first 10 games. In his two starts this season, Exum tallied 12 tackles, most of which came during a career-high nine-tackle performance against the Chiefs in Week 3.

Exum (concussion) is not listed on Thursday's injury report.

EDGE Analysis

Exum appears to have cleared the league's concussion protocol, and is on track to suit up against the Giants on Monday. With Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) questionable for Week 10, Exum could be in line for an increased defensive workload.

Exum (concussion) will not play against the Raiders on Thursday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Exum sustained a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, and it's no surprise that the rotational safety will not clear the league's concussion protocol during a short week. With Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) questionable for Week 9, San Francisco may ask one of Jimmie Ward, Tyvis Powell or K'Waun Williams to slot in at the strong safety position.

Exum is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a head injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Exum was called upon to start after Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) was ruled out to return Sunday, and will now leave the field himself. With Exum injured, one of Tyvis Powell or Jimmie Ward will likely serve as the 49ers' starting strong safety. Rookie quarterback Josh Rosen will look to exploit a deeply depleted San Francisco secondary if Exum is unable to return.

Exum started at strong safety and recorded three tackles (all solo) and a pick-six in Sunday's loss to San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Exum earned another start in place of Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) after being cleared of his own injury prior to kickoff. The 27-year-old immediately made an impact with a 32-yard interception return for a touchdown in the first quarter. Exum now has 12 tackles, a sack and an interception in two starts, and he should continue to start for however long Tartt remains sidelined.
