Snead (undisclosed) tried for the Bills on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
The wide receiver was released with an injury settlement by the Dolphins last August but didn't play during the 2024 campaign. Now healthy again, Snead will try to catch on with a new team ahead of the 2025 season. The veteran has just six regular-season catches for 52 yards since 2020.

The Dolphins released Snead (undisclosed) from the reserve/injured list Saturday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Snead caught on with Miami in late July after appearing in four regular-season games for the 49ers in 2023. He caught one pass for 13 yards across his two preseason outings with the Dolphins, but he was set to miss the entire 2024 season after being placed on injured reserve Monday. Now that he's been let go with an injury settlement, Snead will be able to sign with another team once he is fully healthy.

The Dolphins placed Snead (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Snead landed with Miami early in training camp, but his placement on injured reserve now rules him out for the entire 2024 season, unless he can reach an injury settlement. The nine-year veteran suited up for four regular-season games with the 49ers back in 2023.

The Dolphins signed Snead on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Snead, a nine-year NFL veteran who's spent the majority of his career with the Ravens and Saints, has found a new home in Miami. He played just 70 total snaps in four regular-season games with the 49ers in 2023, so he'll likely be competing for a depth role in the Dolphins' wide receiver room as the preseason progresses.

Snead reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Snead was elevated prior to Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Lions, but the veteran wideout ended up being inactive. He'll wait to see if he gets called up again in two weeks for the Super Bowl.

The 49ers elevated Snead to the active roster Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Snead signed with the 49ers' practice squad Dec. 27 after being let go from the main roster one day earlier. If he's active for Sunday's game against the Lions, it'll be the first time he's suited up since Week 16 against the Ravens. In four appearances during the regular season, Snead caught two of three targets for 14 yards.

Snead was signed to the 49ers' practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Snead was waived by the team Tuesday, but he has quickly joined their practice unit. The wide receiver has appeared in four games with San Francisco this season, catching two passes for 14 yards and he will now wait for his next chance to join the active roster.

The 49ers waived Snead on Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Snead was originally promoted from San Francisco's practice squad to its active roster Monday to fill in for an injured Jauan Jennings (concussion), but Snead is now set to become a free agent assuming he's not claimed by another team during the current waiver period. He has two catches for 14 yards on three targets over four games this season.

The 49ers signed Snead to their active roster from their practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Snead will provide extra depth at receiver for Monday's matchup versus the Ravens as Juan Jennings (concussion) is out. Snead had already been elevated the maximum of three times from the practice squad, so San Francisco had to sign him to the active roster in order for the 31-year-old to be eligible to play.

Snead reverted to San Francisco's practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Snead failed to record any stats while playing 14 snaps on offense in Sunday's win against the Jaguars. The 31-year-old has already been elevated to the active roster three times this season, so the team will have to officially sign Snead in order for him to play again.
