SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Francisco 49ers waived quarterback Josh Rosen on Tuesday, sending the former No. 10 overall pick back to an uncertain football future.
With Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance cemented as the Niners' top two quarterbacks and veteran Nate Sudfeld outplaying Rosen in the battle for a possible third spot on the depth chart, Rosen became expendable when San Francisco claimed cornerback Davontae Harris from the Baltimore Ravens on waivers.
Thus ends a relatively short stint with the 49ers for Rosen, who never appeared in a regular-season game for the team after it signed him from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' practice squad on Dec. 23, 2020. The 49ers re-signed Rosen on Feb. 8 in hopes he could push for the No. 3 job, but Rosen's struggles in camp mounted over the past couple of weeks.
