The 49ers released Nkemdiche on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nkemdiche's stint in the Bay lasted just three weeks. He'll have to look for another opportunity elsewhere, but in the meantime his departure should open up more practice reps at defensive tackle for Kevin Givens and Akeem Spence.

Nkemdiche was signed by the Seahawks on Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nkemdiche was released in the final wave of camp cuts by Seattle, though he later landed back on the team's practice squad. He was elevated to the active roster for the last two weeks, recording nine total tackles while also shouldering a fairly heavy load along the = defensive line. Nkemdiche should continue to serve as a rotational player for the remainder of the season.

Nkemdiche (undisclosed) was released by the Seahawks on Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Coach Pete Carroll said Nkemdiche will be out about a week after tweaking something Thursday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nkemdiche has only played in two games since he notched 4.5 sacks in 10 contests with Arizona in 2018. The 26-year-old suffered a torn ACL in 2019 and wasn't on a roster during the 2020 campaign. He started training camp dealing with a groin injury, but it is unclear if that is what is currently ailing him. If he is unable to go by Week 1, expect Rasheem Green or Darrell Taylor to see increased work at the start of the season.

The Seahawks signed Nkemdiche on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nkemdiche, who the Cardinals made a first-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, has recorded just 4.5 sacks in his career, all of which he recorded in 2018. Since suffering a torn ACL late that season, the 26-year-old has only appeared in two games. Nkemdiche will aim to provide the Seahawks with added defensive tackle depth in 2021.

Nkemdiche was waived by the Dolphins on Tuesday, the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nkemdiche had just been activated off the PUP list in late October after recovering from a torn ACL suffered late last season, but he logged just 18 total defensvie snaps in two games as a Dolphin. The 2016 first-round pick should foster interest on the market, but Nkemdiche has disappointed with just 4.5 career sacks.
