The San Francisco 49ers made a roster move on Thursday, parting ways with defensive back Tre Tomlinson. The team announced the waiver, trimming their squad as they continue to shape the roster for the upcoming season.

Tomlinson's tenure with the 49ers was unfortunately cut short by injuries. Originally claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Rams last offseason, he spent the entire 2024 campaign on injured reserve without seeing any game action. The 2023 sixth-round draft pick showed promise during his rookie season with the Rams, recording 13 tackles in 15 games before another stint on injured reserve in 2024 derailed his momentum.

The 49ers haven't made any corresponding moves yet to fill Tomlinson's spot, but the team has been active this week. They recently signed running back Sincere McCormick, safety Patrick McMorris, and eight undrafted rookie free agents, signaling a focus on youth and depth. With rookie minicamp on the horizon, more roster adjustments could be coming as the team evaluates its talent pool.

For 49ers fans, this move is a reminder of the constant roster churn that defines the NFL offseason. Every cut opens the door for a new opportunity—whether it's a draft pick or an undrafted gem looking to make their mark.
