Rollins was released by the 49ers on Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rollins hasn't played since he was with the Packers in 2017. The former second-round pick is little more than a depth secondary and special teams option for teams at this point.

Rollins was waived by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Bob reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rollins was initially signed by the Cardinals on Nov. 27, but did not appear in a single game during his tenure with the team. The former 2015 second-round pick will be an unrestricted free agent if he goes unclaimed on waivers, and will then be free to search for a depth role elsewhere in the league.

Rollins signed a contract with the Cardinals on Tuesday, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The former 2015 second-round pick was with the Packers this offseason, but was placed on injured reserve before the season began and was subsequently released. The Cardinals are in need of defensive back depth after releasing Jamar Taylor and Bene Benwikere, and they're hoping Rollins can provide that. The 26-year-old has 76 tackles and three interceptions in his career.

Green Bay and Rollins (hamstring) reached an injury settlement Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rollins initially suffered a hamstring injury in the Packers' preseason finale, and was ultimately waived/injured. The 2015 second-rounder is now free to play elsewhere in the league this season, provided he can get healthy.

Rollins (hamstring) cleared waivers and reverted to injured reserve, according to the league's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Rollins was waived after injuring his hamstring in the preseason finale and subsequently went unclaimed on waivers. The 2015 second-round bust is now stuck on IR through the end of the league year unless he agrees to an injury settlement.

Rollins suffered a hamstring injury during Thursday's preseason finale against the Chiefs and is expected to land on IR, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rollins' availability for Week 1 came into question when the hamstring issue arose, leaving the Packers with a tough choice regarding his standing on the roster as the team was forced to cut down to 53 players Saturday. Rollins will likely either be waived with an injury designation or simply placed on IR potentially with a designation to return if he ends up making the 53-man roster.

Rollins (Achilles) played 22 defensive snaps and 11 special teams snaps in Thursday's preseason game against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Rollins had one kickoff return for 16 yards and two punt returns for 35 yards, but has yet to make a defensive tackle through two preseason games. The 26-year-old doesn't appear hampered by the Achilles injury that put him on injured reserve last season, but the Packers influx of talent at cornerback this offseason likely doesn't leave Rollins with a stable role within the defense.

Rollins (Achilles) has yet to see any reps as an outside corner cornerback in training camp, Michael Cohen of The Athletic Wisconsin reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rollins has seen time at safety as well as nickel and dime cornerback thus far, with the team apparently not wanting to put him on the perimeter. It's not overly surprising as coach Mike McCarthy indicated last week the team believes he can play multiple positions, and with the influx of talent at cornerback -- free agent signing Tramon Williams and early-round draft picks Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson -- Rollins is likely headed towards a more versatile role in 2018.

Coach Mike McCarthy indicated Saturday that Rollins (Achilles) has recovered well from his torn Achilles and the staff believes he can play multiple positions, Michael Cohen of The Athletic Wisconsin reports. However, Cohen also notes that he's yet to run full speed.
EDGE Analysis
Rollins' role varied early in 2017 when he was healthy, but it ended in Week 6 due to the Achilles issue. The Packers infused some additional talent into the secondary this offseason by adding veteran Tramon Williams and a pair of early-round draft picks in Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson. Although his role remains unclear heading into 2018, McCarthy's comments Saturday suggest the team hasn't given up on the third-year pro.

Rollins (Achilles) participated in a limited fashion during OTAs on Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After the Packers drafted Kevin King and signed Davon House in 2017, Rollins averaged 23.2 defensive snaps for six games before injuring his Achilles. Playing time won't come any easier now that the Packers selected two cornerbacks -- Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson -- in the first two rounds of the 2018 draft and brought veteran Tramon Williams back.
