The 49ers released Westbrooks on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Westbrooks was recently signed by the team Wednesday, but he was swiftly cut a few days after. Westbrooks failed to suit up in a 2019 regular-season game, while he's accumulated 79 tackles, nine sacks and a forced fumble across 67 games in his NFL career.

Westbrooks signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Westbrooks didn't see any regular-season action in 2019 after getting cut by the Raiders last August, but he'll now get another chance to compete for a depth role in San Francisco throughout the offseason. The 29-year-old most recently suited up for the Rams in 2018, notching eight tackles (five solo), one sack and one pass breakup in 16 games that season.

Westbrooks agreed to an undisclosed contract with the Raiders on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Westbrooks will head to Oakland after spending the last five seasons with the Rams. He's been decently productive in a depth role to this point in his NFL career, making 79 tackles and nine sacks in 67 games. The 28-year-old will have a chance to crack the roster for his hometown team, as Westbrooks was born in Oakland.

Westbrooks (thigh) is officially active for Saturday's playoff game against the Cowboys, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Westbrooks was listed as questionable after being added to the injury report Wednesday with the thigh issue, but is good to go for Saturday's divisional round game. The 28-year-old should serve his usual role as a rotational defensive end for the Rams.

Westbrooks (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Westbrooks was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest after having sat out Friday's practice due to illness, but will ultimately suit up unhindered.

Westbrooks recently pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of carrying a loaded firearm, Gary Klein of The Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Westbrooks was arrested in September, just two weeks after signing a one-year, $1.75 million extension with the Rams. He's been sentenced to one day in jail, getting credit for time served, along with three years of probation. The 27-year-old had 23 tackles and four sacks last season, making nine starts in 16 games. Westbrooks likely will serve as a backup this upcoming season, as the Rams plan to start Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh and Michael Brockers on the defensive line. Westbrooks may be suspended by the NFL now that his legal case has reached a conclusion.

Westbrooks collected four tackles (three solo) and two sacks during Sunday's 32-16 win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Considering he played just 22 of 64 defensive snaps, Westbrooks stuffed the stat line Sunday. His 21 tackles (13 solo) and four sacks through 12 games for the campaign hardly land him on the fantasy radar. However, with offensives forced to focus on Aaron Donald, the rest of the Los Angeles defensive linemen will continue to have opportunities to pressure opposing quarterbacks.

Westbrooks has been charged with one misdemeanor count of carrying a loaded firearm stemming from a September arrest, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

With an arraignment scheduled for Friday in Kern County, Calif., Westbrooks is in line to miss the final practice of Week 11 prep. Once he enters a plea, he may join his Rams teammates in time for the trip to Minnesota, but there could be a delay in his arrival. On the season, he's played 28.9 percent of the defensive snaps, which has resulted in a modest 13 tackles (eight solo) and two sacks in nine games.

Westbrooks was arrested Friday for alleged possession of a firearm that wasn't registered to him personally, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Westbrooks was initially pulled over in Kern County, California, for speeding. However, the arresting officer found a loaded handgun in Westbrook's possession that was reported as stolen in 2009. In total, the defensive end is being slapped with five various felony charges. It isn't clear how the league will respond, but a punishment in some form seems likely.

Westbrooks signed a one-year, $1.75 million extension Monday with the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

In addition to keeping Westbrooks in the fold for the Rams through the end of the 2018 campaign, the new deal will reduce the defensive end's salary from $1.79 million to $1.25 million in 2017. Westbrooks evidently determined that the extra year was worthwhile enough for him to take a paycut for 2017, making him a decent bargain for the Rams. The 26-year-old was one of several standout performers in the Rams' Week 1 win over the Colts, registering three tackles and a sack in the 46-9 victory.
