  • Anthony Averett: Joins Lions' practice squad

    Detroit signed Averett to its practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Averett was cut loose by San Francisco prior to Week 1 as he dealt with an injury, but he has now found another opportunity with a new team. After Emmanuel Moseley sustained a ruptured ACL on Sunday, the Lions may have an opening at corner on their 53-man roster.

  • Anthony Averett: Reaches injury settlement

    Averett (undisclosed) was released from the 49ers' injured reserve Thursday after both parties agreed to an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Averett was in danger of missing the entire 2023 campaign before this injury settlement was agreed upon. It is unclear what specific injury is nagging him, but he will now be able to sign elsewhere once he is back to full health. The 28-year-old recorded 13 tackles (12 solo) across seven games in Las Vegas last year.

    Averett (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Josh Dubow of the Associated Press reports.

    Averett is slated to miss the entire 2023 season unless he works out an injury settlement with the team. He finished the 2022 campaign on injured reserve due to a toe injury, but it's unclear if his absence in 2023 is related to that injury or a different one.

  • 49ers' Anthony Averett: Lands with San Francisco

    Averett agreed to a one-year deal with the 49ers on Thursday.

    The 2018 fourth-round pick out of Alabama has found a new home after spending the first five years of his career with Baltimore and Las Vegas. He ended last season on injured reserve with a toe injury, but in his seven games (six starts) with the Raiders, he recorded 13 tackles and one defensed pass. Expect the veteran corner to compete for a depth spot on the 49ers defense ahead of the coming season.
