Dial announced Friday that he plans to retire from the NFL, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dial did not see NFL action in 2018 after serving as a rotational defensive tackle for the Packers a year prior. The 28-year-old spent his first four seasons in San Francisco, and he finishes with 145 tackles (90) and 4.5 sacks for his career.

Dial (chest) is active Sunday against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Dial has logged between 24 and 34 defensive snaps in each of the three weeks since returning from a chest injury. He should see a similar role Sunday, spelling Kenny Clark when need be.

Dial (chest) will play in Sunday's game against Baltimore, Jason Wahlers of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dial's inclusion on the injury report to end the week was a bit of a surprise after he was a full participant in each of the team's practice. With Montravius Adams (coaches decision) inactive, Dial will be the Packers' only backup along the defensive line.

Dial (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Dial was a full participant in practice Wednesday through Friday, so despite getting the questionable tag for the Week 11 matchup, he seems likely to play. The nose tackle missed the Packers' previous two games with the injury.

Dial (chest) will not play in the Packers' Sunday matchup against the Bears, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This news is unsurprising, as Dial was unable to participate in practice throughout the week. Kenny Clark will remain the man in the middle on the defensive line, but depth could become an issue in Dial's absence.

Dial (chest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Dial entered the weekend with a cloud of doubt hanging over his head which was soon confirmed Monday. With him out of the picture for Monday's game, Kenny Clark should be the main cog along the defensive front.

Dial has a chest injury and is listed as doubtful for Monday night's game against the Lions, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dial has been a depth piece in the Packers defensive line rotation since signing with the team prior to the season opener. Kenny Clark is the only remaining nose tackle on Green Bay's roster, and the team may need to do some rotation shuffling for Monday's game with Dial unlikely to play.

Dial signed a contract with the Packers on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Packers let go Brian Price and brought in Dial to replace him. Dial will rotate in with Kenny Clark and Mike Daniels, but he shouldn't be expected to be a serious fantasy contributor.

The 49ers opted to release Dial on Saturday, Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move is somewhat surprising, as Dial had been a two-year starter at defensive tackle. However, unlike nearly every starter on the team, Dial played in Week 4 of the preseason, signaling he was playing for a job. Ultimately, he was not a good fit for the 49ers' new defensive scheme this system.

Dial (elbow) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Dial appears ready to return to game action in Week 15 against the Falcons after missing Sunday's loss to the Jets. He'll provide depth at defensive end behind Chris Jones and DeForest Buckner.
