Carradine was released by Miami on Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carradine was not in the lineup this past week but did log 40 snaps against the Patriots in Week 2, finishing the game with three tackles. Now on the open market, he'll be looking to find a new NFL home in the coming weeks.

Carradine signed a contract with the Dolphins on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Carradine's spot on the 53-man roster comes following the placement of Jonathan Ledbetter (ankle) on IR. After being cut by Miami prior to the start of the regular season, the veteran now projects to play a depth role on the defensive line.

Carradine was cut by the Dolphins on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carradine came into the offseason with nine regular-season games under his belt the past two seasons, but he failed to make an impression with the Dolphins. The veteran will look to earn a roster spot elsewhere.

Carradine was released by the Raiders on Friday per his request, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carradine is looking for a situation that will provide him with a larger role. The veteran started seven games for the 49ers last season, and recorded 10 tackles (six solo) for the Raiders during the preseason. Still, he has only seen 24 snaps this season, and will now look for greener pastures.

Carradine signed a contract with the Raiders on Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carradine missed the first half of the 2017 season with a knee injury but recorded 19 tackles (14 solo) and 1.5 sacks in the final eight games of the season with San Francisco. The 29-year-old is likely to serve a rotational role in the Raiders defensive line unit in 2018.

Carradine spent eight games on injured reserve with a knee injury, finishing with 19 tackles (14 solo) and 1.5 sacks during the 2017 campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Carradine began the year as the 49ers' Leo defensive end, as his ability to play both end and linebacker profiled nicely for the prominent position in Robert Saleh's modified 4-3 defense. Seeing 20-30 defensive snaps per game on passing downs, the 28-year-old was able to notch a sack in three games before going down to a knee injury that cost his eight games. The Leo was eventually going to be rookie Solomon Thomas' position anyways, but the veteran's injury allowed the 49ers' first-round selection to begin his development a little earlier. Carradine will be an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason, so it would be surprising if the 49ers re-signed him given the glut of younger defensive linemen they have at their disposal.

The 49ers activated Carradine off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carridine was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return following the 49ers' Week 3 loss to the Rams. He has been practicing with the team the last two weeks and finally appears set to return Sunday barring any setbacks. He is likely to challenge for a starting role at some point, but the team figures to ease him back into action right away.

Carradine (ankle) is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carradine has been practicing for two weeks now and appears to be recovering well from the high-ankle sprain that has sidelined him for the last seven contests. Assuming Carradine endures no setbacks during the week, he'll likely be activated and could immediately challenge for a starting role Sunday. At the very least, Carradine should be firmly in the mix of a defensive-end rotation that already includes Solomon Thomas (knee), Leger Douzable, Ronald Blair, Elvis Dumervil, Cassius Marsh and Aaron Lynch.

Carradine (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carradine was placed on injured reserve in late September after suffering a high-ankle sprain. The linebacker isn't eligible to play in a game until Week 12 so look for more updates to come over the next couple of weeks.

Carradine (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carradine was expected to miss 4-6 weeks after an MRI revealed no significant damage on his high ankle sprain, but the 49ers still opted to clear up a roster spot. The 28-year-old could be an IR-return candidate in eight weeks, but in the meantime rookie Solomon Thomas will likely see the most significant boost in playing time.
