Yarbrough signed with the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
EDGE Analysis
During his first two seasons in the NFL, Yarbrough played in 31 games and registered 63 tackles (44 solo) and one sack. Since then, the 28-year-old has played in only four games. It will be difficult for the Wyoming product to carve out a role in San Francisco's loaded defensive line.

EDGE Analysis
Yarbrough played on 22 of the defense's 78 snaps as he'll have a reserve role on the defensive line.

Yarbrough was signed by the Vikings off the Bills' practice squad Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yarbrough moves from one playoff team to another, though given that he hasn't been promoted by the Bills all season, at least he'll now have a chance to see action as a depth player for the Vikings. He'll also get a chance to see his former mates in the unlikely event the No. 6 seed Vikings and No. 5 seed Bills go all the way, which would feature two teams that have combined for many Super Bowl losses but zero wins.

Yarbrough signed a one-year contract with the Bills on Wednesday, Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yarbrough has averaged roughly 25 defensive snaps per game for the Bills over the past two seasons and was a no-brainer to keep around, given the low price tag that accompanies him as an exclusive-rights free agent.

The Bills extended a tender to Yarbrough, an exclusive rights free agent, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the level of Yarbrough's tender has yet to be disclosed, the point is that the reserve defensive end will stick with the Bills in 2019. The 25-year-old made 29 tackles without a sack across 15 games last season, playing 30 percent of defensive snaps in a rotational role.

Yarbrough signed his restricted free agent tender with Buffalo on Monday, Chris Brown of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yarbrough began turning heads in Buffalo's front office during last year's preseason. Following the strong showing, the 24-year-old pass rusher earned a spot on the 53-man roster where he saw action in all 16 regular season games. If he's able to build off last season's success, Yarbrough could be in for a breakout 2018 campaign.

Yarbrough, who missed Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury, practiced fully Thursday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Shaq Lawson placed on injured reserve, Yarbrough is in line to start at defensive tackle along with veteran Kyle Williams, though Ryan Davis will be sprinkled in for certain packages.

Yarbrough won't practice Wednesday due to an unspecified injury, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bills should provide more information on the extent of Yarbrough's injury once Wednesday's practice concludes, but the assumption is that he's still nursing a chest issue, which kept him on the injury report leading up to Sunday's loss to New England. Yarbrough ended up suiting up in the contest and recorded three tackles across 37 snaps, and if health prevails, he could see an even heftier workload Week 14 against the Colts. Shaq Lawson (ankle) was placed on injured reserve earlier this week, leaving Yarbrough first in line to start at defensive end in his stead.

Yarbrough's teammate Shaq Lawson was placed on injured reserve Tuesday due to an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
That should make Yarbrough the de facto starter at defensive end opposite Jerry Hughes, though Ryan Davis will also see some time at the spot. Yarbrough has a modest 18 tackles and one sack on the season, so there's not too much to get behind, though in some circles every full-time starter is at least worth keeping an eye on.

Yarbrough (chest) is listed as active for Sunday's tilt against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Yarbrough was unable to practice as a full participant throughout the week due to a chest injury, but he'll ultimately be able to suit up Sunday after logging limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. He's slated to provide depth at defensive end behind Shaq Lawson and Jerry Hughes per usual.
