Bryant (undisclosed) was waived with an injury settlement by the 49ers on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The defensive end now has a chance to play in 2024 if he catches on with another team. Bryant played in two regular-season games and on 35 defensive snaps with the 49ers in 2023. The sixth-year pro spent the previous four seasons with Detroit, never recording more than 31 tackles in a season.

San Francisco placed Bryant (undisclosed) on injured reserve Friday, according to the team's official site.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant will now be slated to miss the entire 2024 season unless the 49ers agree on an injury settlement with the defensive lineman. He recorded one tackle across 35 defensive snaps during two regular-season games in the 2023 campaign.

The 49ers released Bryant on Friday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant will now head to free agency despite having just signed with San Francisco in March. This move will make room for Nick Bosa on the active roster now that he's ended his holdout following his record-setting extension.

Bryant signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant is now set to join San Francisco for at least the 2023 season following his four-year stint with Detroit. The 26-year-old defensive end made 33 game appearances throughout his time as a Lion, amassing 65 tackles and 4.5 sacks in that span. He'll likely carve out a rotational role similar to the one that he previously held.

Bryant was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant played in 14 games this season for the Lions, but his time in COVID protocols forced him to miss Week 18 against the Packers. The third-year pro finished his season with 31 tackles (21 solo) and 4.5 sacks.

Detroit placed Bryant on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after he tested positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant played 64 percent of the defensive snaps and totaled five tackles and a sack during Sunday's loss to Seattle. The 25-year-old can still clear the league's COVID-19 protocols in time to play Week 18 against the Packers, but his availability is now up in the air.

Bryant (shoulder) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant was unavailable in Week 10 and had his reps capped Wednesday, but he increased his workload as a full participant Thursday. Following his absence, the 25-year-old will likely be available Sunday against Cleveland.

Bryant (shoulder) is inactive Week 10 against the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant had recorded a season-high seven tackles prior to the team's Week 9 bye, but he surfaced on the injury report this week as a limited practice participant due to a shoulder issue. His absence will hurt Detroit's linebacker depth and potentially open the door for Julian Okwara to see more work in a reserve capacity.

Bryant had seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 44-6 loss to the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant played only 43 percent of the defensive snaps but still managed to tie for the team lead in tackles. The 24-year-old has filled a rotational role in Detroit's linebacking corps most of the season.

Bryant (undisclosed) was activated from the PUP list Tuesday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old was placed on the PUP list with the unspecified injury last week, but he's now ready to take the field. Bryant appeared in only six games last season and totaled 17 tackles (12 solo).
