Gilliam was released by the 49ers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gilliam was set to make roughly $4.5 million in 2019 to serve as a backup. He shouldn't have a problem finding another job elsewhere around the league.

Gilliam (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gilliam seems to be progressing in his recovery from a concussion sustained nearly a month ago. Given the nature of Gilliam's injury, it's difficult to estimate a timetable for the 27-year-old's return. Expected to serve a rotational role in the 49ers' O-line this season, it remains to be seen whether Gilliam will suit up for Sunday's season-opener against the Vikings.

Gilliam (concussion) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

We're closing in on a month since Gilliam sustained the concussion and things appear to be moving rather slowly. Given the nature of head injuries in today's medical climate, it's wise for both Gilliam's personal health and the team to wait until all symptoms have subsided. Although the Niners have eased Gilliam back into the mix, albeit in a limited fashion, it's reasonable to suspect he'll miss Sunday's game given the lengthy absence and the fact that he's not quite at 100 percent just yet.

Gilliam (concussion) returned to practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The return marks the end of a three-week long absence for Gilliam. Despite missing almost a month of the critical evaluation period during the preseason, the 27-year-old possesses enough experience that could ultimately help save him from the perils of roster cut downs.

Gilliam (concussion) will not play in Saturday's preseason contest, Matt Barrows of The Athletic Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gilliam has yet to clear through the league's concussion protocol and subsequently will be forced to sit out Saturday's affair. The Penn State product has been able to make a career for himself as an offensive lineman following his collegiate days at tight end. Gilliam started 13 games for Seattle last season.

Gilliam remains in concussion protocol and will be re-evaluated Tuesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gilliam has been going through protocol since suffering the concussion since the team's preseason opener against the Cowboys. An update should come Tuesday on whether or not Gilliam is cleared.

Gilliam sustained a concussion during Thursday's preseason game against the Cowboys, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gilliam was able to play only seven snaps in the preseason opener before exiting with concussion symptoms. The 27-year-old will have to clear the league's concussion protocol before returning to the field for the 49ers.

Gillam (elbow) returned to practice Sunday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gillam sat out Saturday's practice session with an elbow injury but it appears he has since recovered. Look for Gilliam to resume his role with the second team offense.

Gilliam did not practice Saturday due to an elbow injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The elbow issue is not believed to be serious and should not keep Gilliam on the sideline for an extended period of time. The expectation is that Gilliam will be back in time for next week's activities.

Gilliam (knee) won't face any limitations during the 49ers' offseason workouts in April, Matt Barrows of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gilliam landed on injured reserve in November due to an MCL sprain in his knee, but the issue only required multiple weeks of recovery time rather than multiple months. As a result, Gilliam, who signed a two-year contract extension with the 49ers on Tuesday, should be in store for extensive snaps with the first-team offense in the spring while starting right tackle Trent Brown (shoulder) is sidelined.
