Hayes (undisclosed) was waived/injured by San Francisco on Saturday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes was cut Saturday to make room on the roster for cornerback Nate Brooks. The 25-year-old Hayes has battled injuries the entirety of his career, and as a result he's seen the field once the past two years. Hayes was originally selected by the Ravens in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft but was later cut for a similar reason as now. If Hayes clears waivers, he'll revert to the 49ers' injured reserve and be forced to miss the entire 2023 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement.

Hayes has signed a one-year contract with the 49ers, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Less than one week after getting waived by the Ravens, Hayes has found a new opportunity in San Francisco. He missed the entire 2022 season due to an undisclosed reason, so the 2021 fifth-round pick is looking to make up for lost time. He will compete for a depth linebacker role with the 49ers.

Hayes was waived by the Ravens on Monday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes' time in Baltimore was marred by injuries, which included missing the entire 2022 campaign due to an undisclosed injury. A fifth-round selection in the 2021 Draft, Hayes played just one game in his two seasons with the Ravens. He'll now seek a chance elsewhere.

Hayes (undisclosed) reverted to the Ravens' injured reserve list Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Hayes (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Ravens on Tuesday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes returned to practice Sunday for the first time since suffering a season-ending knee injury during his NFL debut in Week 3 last year. While it's not clear if this injury is still affecting him, the 2021 third-round pick will now pass through waivers before reverting to Baltimore's IR, should he go unclaimed.

Hayes (knee) participated in the Ravens' recent mandatory minicamp, Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes was selected in the fifth round of the 2021 Draft and was a healthy scratch the first two weeks of the season. He was injured in his NFL debut during a Week 3 contest against the Lions and missed the rest of the season. Now fully recovered, Hayes will work to earn a role in the Ravens' linebacker corps for 2022.

Hayes (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes just returned from IR prior to Week 16 and now will miss at least the rest of the regular season. He last played in Week 3, so his absence is unlikely to impact the Ravens' game plan much.

Hayes (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes returned to practice earlier this week and will be eligible to face the Bengals on Sunday. Even though he doesn't start on a regular basis, his return will provide depth on a team that has been severely affected by injuries and COVID-19 cases in recent weeks.
