Cyprien (hamstring) was waived off injured reserve by the 49ers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old landed on injured reserve with the hamstring issue in mid-November, but he's now been let go by the 49ers. Cyprien will be able to join a new team once he clears waivers and is fully healthy.

Cyprien (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old sustained the injury during Sunday's loss to the Saints and will be sidelined for at least the next three weeks. Cyprien has exclusively played special teams this season, so his absence shouldn't impact San Francisco's defense.

Cyprien was forced out of Sunday's game against the Saints with a hamstring injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cyprien only plays on special teams. If he is unable to return, he'll have two full weeks to recover before a Week 12 matchup against the Rams.

The 49ers promoted Cyprien to the active roster Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Cyprien has been elevated to the active roster on three occasions, and now he's officially on the 53-man roster. The veteran safety previously stuck to special teams, and he should handle a similar role moving forward.

Cyprien was cut by the 49ers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Cyprien had a chance to make the team after an impressive tryout earlier in the offseason, but the veteran safety ultimately failed to secure a roster spot.

Cyprien agreed to terms on a one-year deal with San Francisco on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cyprien tried out for the team Tuesday, and as evidenced by this news, impressed the team enough to stay in the Bay Area. After dealing with a season-ending injury each of the past two years, the veteran is healthy and looking for a chance to prove himself. The last time Cyprien was fully healthy, he suited up in all 16 games for Jacksonville in 2016, supplying 127 tackles (96 solo), one sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. He'll likely add solid veteran depth behind safeties Jaquiski Tartt and Jimmie Ward heading into the 2020 season.

Cyprien (foot) worked out with San Francisco on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cyprien has struggled to stay healthy over the last two seasons, tearing his ACL in 2018 training camp and suffering a season-ending foot injury in 2019. The 30-year-old safety is looking for new life in the NFL now that he's healthy, but he projects as nothing more than a depth asset at this point.

Cyprien was placed on injured reserve with a foot injury Tuesday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cyprien was originally traded to Atlanta on Sep. 30 from Philadelphia. In his lone game as a Falcon on Sunday against Houston, the 29-year-old recorded two total tackles. Kemal Ishmael and Jamal Carter are the remaining healthy strong safeties in Atlanta.

Cyprien is being traded along with a 2020 seventh-round pick from the Eagles to the Falcons in exchange for Duke Riley and a 2020 sixth-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cyprien had mostly been limited to special teams across four games with the Eagles, and he'll now have a shot at carving out an increased role in Atlanta. With Keanu Neal (Achilles) on IR, the Falcons were in need of depth at the safety position.

Cyprien signed a one-year contract with the Eagles on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cyprien missed the entirety of 2018 due to a torn ACL but has been medically cleared since mid-May. The 29-year-old seems likely to fill a reserve role as a third safety for the Eagles behind Malcolm Jenkins and Rodney McLeod (knee).
