The Eagles signed Latu to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Latu spent most of the 2024 regular season on the Browns' practice squad after being waived by the 49ers at the end of training camp in late August. Latu will have an opportunity to work with Eagles' training staff in the spring during OTAs and minicamp and will aim to earn a spot on the 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign. He has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game since being selected by San Francisco in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 101st overall.

The Eagles signed Latu to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Latu spent most of the 2024 regular season on the Browns' practice squad after being waived by the 49ers at the end of training camp in late August. Latu will have an opportunity to work with Eagles' training staff in the spring during OTAs and minicamp and will aim to earn a spot on the 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign. He has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game since being selected by San Francisco in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 101st overall.
Cleveland signed Latu to the practice squad Tuesday. After being waived by the 49ers after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, Latu caught on with the Browns on the practice squad. He was let go by Cleveland on Dec. 18, but he's back on the practice squad and could be elevated for the Browns' regular-season finale against the Ravens on Saturday if David Njoku (knee) is unable to play.
The Browns cut Latu from the practice squad Tuesday, Kelsey Russo of the team's official site reports. The 2023 third-round pick joined the Browns' practice squad in late August after being waived by the 49ers at the conclusion of training camp. Latu was not elevated to Cleveland's active roster, and now that he's been let go, the 24-year-old will look to catch on with a team in need of tight end depth.
Latu signed with Cleveland's practice squad Thursday. The 2023 third-round selection of the 49ers missed his entire rookie season due to a meniscus injury. Latu entered training camp competing for a depth role at tight end, and despite having a solid preseason in which he recorded eight catches (on 10 targets) for 84 yards, he was waived by San Francisco on Tuesday. David Njoku (undisclosed) and Jordan Akins are the only two tight ends on the Browns' active roster, and if either of them were to miss time, Latu would be a prime candidate to be elevated to the active roster.
The 49ers waived Latu on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. The 2023 third-round pick missed his entire rookie season after suffering a meniscus injury last August, but he was busy this preseason with eight catches for 84 yards on 10 targets. It's possible Latu showed enough that another team will claim him on waivers. If not, the Niners might bring him back as a practice squad player.
Latu had three receptions on as many targets for 42 yards in Friday's preseason finale against Las Vegas. Latu appeared in all three of San Francisco's exhibition contests this preseason, finishing with eight receptions (10 targets) for 84 yards. Despite the tight end's healthy debut this offseason, the front office still signed veteran Logan Thomas to enter the mix for snaps behind George Kittle this upcoming campaign. Latu possesses more fantasy upside than his fellow blocking backups, but it sounds like the 2023 third-round selection will have to truly earn his way on the club this season.
Latu corralled three of five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 16-10 preseason victory over the Saints. Latu caught a pair of balls in San Francisco's preseason opener and followed that up with another positive performance. This all follows a lengthy rehab from a torn meniscus that cost the 2023 third-round pick his entire rookie campaign. With consecutive healthy showings this exhibition season, Latu looks ready to officially make his debut with the 49ers. The Alabama product will compete with veteran Eric Saubert for one of the vacant roles backing George Kittle this upcoming season.
Latu (knee) opened 49ers training camp without an injury designation Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. The 2023 third-round pick out of Alabama missed his entire rookie campaign after sustaining a meniscus injury in San Francisco's last preseason game. Latu appears to be past the injury, and he will battle Eric Saubert for the No. 3 tight end spot behind George Kittle and Logan Thomas.
Latu (knee) has suffered no setbacks in his recovery and is expected to be ready for training camp, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Latu suffered a meniscus injury during a preseason game last year and missed the entirety of his rookie campaign. A third-round selection in the 2023 Draft, Latu will likely be competing with veteran Eric Saubert for the 49ers No. 3 spot on the team's depth chart at tight end behind George Kittle (groin) and the newly acquired, Logan Thomas.
