San Francisco cut Hill from its practice squad Monday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Just a few days after joining the practice squad, Hill is now set to become a free agent. Hill last played back in the NFL in 2021, when he appeared in three games but did not log a touch.

The 49ers signed Hill to their practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

A 2017 fifth-round pick by Atlanta, Hill signed with the 49ers this offseason after playing for the St. Louis Battlehawks during the 2023 XFL season. The veteran running back was promoted to the 49ers' active roster three times during the 2021 campaign, but he played exclusively on special teams.

The 49ers released Hill on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill was sitting at No. 6 on the 49ers' running back depth chart, which makes this move relatively unsurprising. The 27-year-old has primarily played in Atlanta across the first four years of his career, but he was looking for a fresh start in San Francisco. It remains to be seen if the team plans on offering him a role on their practice squad.

Hill signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hill most recently played with the St. Louis Battlehawks in the XFL where he tallied 416 yards on 88 carries to go along with 204 yards and one touchdown on 24 receptions. Prior to that, he had stints with the Falcons, Titans and Browns. The journeyman will now attempt to carve a role out for himself with the 49ers.

Hill was signed to the 49ers' practice squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hill was waived from San Francisco's active roster over the weekend but will return to the organization via the practice squad. He'll provide depth at running back with Elijah Mitchell, Jeff Wilson and JaMycal Hasty now healthy.

Hill was waived by San Francisco on Saturday, Josh Dubow of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill's departure from the active roster bodes well for Elijah Mitchell's return from a knee injury on Sunday. The Wyoming product had seen special-teams action in each of the 49ers' last three games and will likely head back to their practice squad.

Hill was promoted to the active roster from the 49ers' practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Hill has been given a permanent spot on the active roster after being elevated from the practice squad for each of the previous two games. His usage has been limited to special teams thus far with the 49ers, and that should remain the case Thursday, even with starting running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) still sidelined.

Hill has reverted to San Francisco's practice squad, per the NFL's official transaction report.

EDGE Analysis

Hill played 15 snaps on special teams Week 15, logging one tackle on kick coverage. In his two appearances with the 49ers this season, Hill has been limited entirely to special teams.

Hill was elevated to the 49ers' active roster Saturday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill was elevated to the active roster last week and played just 16 special-teams snaps. That's not expected to change even though Elijah Mitchell (concussion/knee) will not play Sunday.

Hill reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Hill signed with 49ers' practice squad prior to their Week 14 matchup against Cincinnati. He was quickly promoted to the active due to the shaky health of the backfield, but he was limited to only 16 special teams snaps. Hill may be promoted again prior to San Francisco's Week 15 game against Atlanta if Trenton Cannon (concussion) and Elijah Mitchell (knee/concussion) remain sidelined.
