49ers' Isaiah Oliver: Heading to Bay Area
The 49ers agreed to terms with Oliver on a two-year deal Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Oliver will head to San Francisco after seeing prominent playing time over the past four seasons with Atlanta. The 26-year-old cornerback missed the first five games of the 2022 campaign while recovering from a torn ACL suffered Week 4 of 2021. Oliver was still productive over the final 12 regular-season games last year, recording 37 tackles and seven passes defended, including just the second interception of his career. The 6-foot Oliver now figures to compete with Samuel Womack for reps out of the slot with the 49ers.

Falcons' Isaiah Oliver: Records first sack of season
Oliver recorded nine tackles (five solo), two pass defenses and one sack during Sunday's 20-19 win over Arizona.
Oliver posted a season-high nine tackles and recorded his first sack of the 2022 campaign when he took down David Blough for a seven-yard loss on the second play of the game. The 2018 second-round pick will look to build off his best performance of the year during Atlanta's regular-season finale against Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Falcons' Isaiah Oliver: Moves off of IR
Atlanta activated Oliver (knee) from its injured reserve list Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Oliver is now poised to return from the ACL tear he suffered last season. The 26-year-old corner should be in line for a significant role in the Falcons' defensive backfield once he's fully back up to speed.

Falcons' Isaiah Oliver: Designated to return from IR
Oliver (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve and practiced Wednesday, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.
Oliver tore his ACL in Week 4 last season and was limited during minicamp before returning to full-team drills at the start of training camp. He didn't play in either of the team's first two exhibition games but saw 31 defensive snaps during the preseason finale. However, he was placed on IR ahead of the 53-man roster deadline to give him extra time to finish his rehab. Now, just over a year after initially suffering the injury, he appears ready to put the issue behind him. He'll have 21 days to be added to the active roster, but if he isn't, he'll revert back to IR for the remainder of the campaign.

Falcons' Isaiah Oliver: Placed on injured reserve
The Falcons placed Oliver (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Oliver underwent season-ending knee surgery last year in October and was limited during minicamp in June but returned to full-team drills at the start of training camp. He didn't suit up for either of the Falcons' first two exhibition contests but played 31 defensive snaps during the preseason finale. However, he appears to still be dealing with lingering effects of the surgery and will miss at least the first four games of the 2022 regular season.

Falcons' Isaiah Oliver: Fully practices Friday
Oliver (knee) practiced with Atlanta's first-team defense during 11-on-11 drills Friday, Ashton Edmunds of the team's official site reports.
Oliver worked with the Falcons' first unit for the first time this training camp after participating in a limited capacity during the team's minicamp in June. The fifth-year cornerback totaled 11 tackles and three passes defended before undergoing season-ending knee surgery in October that limited him to just four games in 2021. Oliver previously worked with the second-team defense, and he should compete with Casey Hayward and Dee Alford for a starting role heading into the regular season.

Falcons' Isaiah Oliver: Ends 2020 campaign with 70 tackles
Oliver collected two tackles (including one for loss) during last Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Buccaneers, and he wrapped up the 2020 campaign with 70 tackles, six pass deflections, a forced fumble and one sack.
Oliver has been unable to collect an interception over 188 coverage targets the past two seasons, surrendering 12 passing touchdowns and 8.8 yards per target during that span. The Colorado standout went without a game absence between 2019 and 2020, but he also conceded a passer rating of 113 or higher in each season. That's after Oliver held opponents to an 89.1 passer rating and two TDs (over 27 targets) his rookie year. The 2018 second-round draft choice is under contract with Atlanta for one more season before potentially becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2022.

Falcons' Isaiah Oliver: Absent from injury report
Oliver (cramps) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Oliver left last weekend's loss to the Buccaneers in the second half due to cramps, but it appears that the issue hasn't carried over to practice. He's set to suit up against the Chiefs on Sunday, and if Darqueze Dennard (quadriceps) misses another contest, Oliver could benefit from increased snaps.

Falcons' Isaiah Oliver: Second-half cramping issue arises
Oliver (cramps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
The Colorado product has avoided a game absence all season, and he's only missed two total contests since entering the league in 2018. Oliver had made his presence felt by racking up six tackles prior to his second-half exit.

Falcons' Isaiah Oliver: Notches first career sack on TNF
Oliver collected three total tackles and one sack during Thursday's 25-17 win against the Panthers.
Oliver came firing off the edge on a third-down play in the final minute of the first quarter, sacking Teddy Bridgewater for a 12-yard loss to force a Carolina punt. Though the third-year cornerback was able to come away with his first career sack Thursday night, and an important one at that, he has continued to struggle as a cover man. So far in 2020, Oliver is surrendering a career-worst 71.4 percent completion rate while allowing four TDs on 49 targets.

Falcons' Isaiah Oliver: Starts all 16 games for Falcons
Oliver compiled 61 total tackles, 11 pass deflections and one forced fumble across 16 starts for Atlanta in 2019.
The sophomore cornerback performed competently during his first full season as a starter, playing 80-plus percent of his team's defensive snaps in 13 of 16 games and leading the Falcons in passes defensed. Oliver proved to be durable in joining Ricardo Allen as the only Falcons defensive backs to start all 16 contests in 2019, but his ability to produce takeaways has been lacking through the first two years of his NFL career. The 23-year-old has just one interception in 30 contests since being drafted No. 58 overall in 2018.

Falcons' Isaiah Oliver: Ready to face 49ers
Oliver (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
To the relief of the Falcons' secondary, Oliver is good to go. Desmond Trufant (forearm) is already done for the year, so the team could ill afford to lose another starting cornerback against the 49ers' top-tier passing game. Oliver will likely face a heavy dose of Emmanuel Sanders and Deebo Samuel.
