Rosen (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Panthers, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Rosen a healthy scratch, Feleipe Franks will be the primary backup quarterback to Matt Ryan on Sunday. Ryan has played in every game this season, but Rosen has seen occasional playing time during blowouts this year.

Rosen is active for Sunday's contest against the Eagles, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Rosen won't see the field unless Matt Ryan suffers an injury or is forced to miss time, the fact that he's active instead of Feleipe Franks gives him the first regular-season opportunity to back up Ryan.

Rosen has a spot on Atlanta's initial 53-man roster, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network repors.
EDGE Analysis
The Falcons are keeping both Rosen and undrafted rookie Feleipe Franks behind durable starter Matt Ryan. Given that Rosen has been with the team for only one week, Franks likely will be the backup quarterback for the season opener against Philadelphia on Sept. 12. It's still a decent opportunity for Rosen, the 10th overall pick from the 2018 NFL Draft.

Coach Arthur Smith said Wednesday that Rosen will suit up for Sunday's exhibition finale against the Browns, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosen joined the Falcons just two days ago, roughly one week after he was cut by the 49ers. If Matt Ryan ends up sitting out the preseason finale, which is more than possible, Rosen and Feleipe Franks will be the Falcons' only available quarterbacks. If things play out that way, Sunday's matchup against the Browns could weigh heavily into determining which of Rosen or Franks wins the backup gig behind Ryan heading into the regular season.

Rosen is signing a contract with Atlanta, Jordan Schultz of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosen was cut loose by the 49ers less than one week ago. He'll get his next opportunity in Atlanta after AJ McCarron went down with a torn ACL earlier in the week. Rosen's last game action dates back to 2019 with Miami, throwing for 567 yards, one touchdown and five interceptions in six contests. He'll compete with Feleipe Franks for the backup job with his new squad.

Rosen cleared waivers Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosen was among the 49ers' first wave of roster cuts Tuesday, just days after making his debut with the team in Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs. Prior to San Fran giving him a chance at the end of last season, he spent most of the 2020 campaign on the Buccaneers' practice squad and split the previous two years between Miami (2019) and Arizona (2018). The Cardinals used the 10th overall pick in the 2018 draft on Rosen, but the 24-year-old already may have washed out of the NFL.

Rosen will be waived by the 49ers, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosen inked a one-year deal with the 49ers in late December but didn't show enough in training camp to hold on to a roster spot. This seemed a likely eventuality following the team's decision to spend its third overall pick on Trey Lance in the 2021 NFL Draft. Rosen's first-round status in the 2018 NFL Draft could still entice some teams into trying to unlock more from him, but he's unlikely to land as anything more than a top backup.

Rosen signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rosen will finish out the season with San Francisco, and it's possible the team will even thrust him into a starting role for the season finale to see whether the 2018 first-round pick has something to offer. Given his lack of familiarity with the team's system, Rosen will open as the backup to C.J. Beathard, who will start Saturday's game against the Cardinals with Nick Mullens (elbow) and Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) both unlikely to play again in 2020.

The 49ers signed Rosen off the Buccaneers' practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosen was cut by the Dolphins in September and landed on the Bucs' practice squad, and he's finally found a new home. The 49ers need depth at quarterback following news that Nick Mullens (elbow) is done for the year and Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) isn't expected to be activated from IR. In turn, Rosen will serve as C.J. Beathard's backup in Saturday's game versus the Cardinals, who selected him 10th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Rosen signed with the Buccaneers' practice squad Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
After going unclaimed on waivers, Rosen apparently could've signed with an active roster elsewhere, but he chose to restart his career in a good situation in Tampa Bay. With head coach Bruce Arians and legendary QB Tom Brady, Rosen stands to learn a lot as a practice-squad member with the Buccaneers, and he can be patient as he develops before seeking a new team.
