Cut from injured reserve
The 49ers released Elflein (calf) from injured reserve Friday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. After joining the 49ers last Friday, Elflein injured his calf shortly thereafter and landed on IR. He now will need to meet the terms of his settlement before he'll be able to pursue another opportunity elsewhere.
Placed on IR
The 49ers placed Elflein (calf) on injured reserve Monday. Elflein had just signed with the team last week to provide depth along the offensive line before injuring his calf in practice. The 2017 third-round pick will now be out for the entirety of the season unless San Francisco waives him with an injury settlement.
Signed by 49ers, then gets hurt
San Francisco signed Elflein to a contract Friday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. The offensive lineman then suffered a calf injury in practice, per Kyle Madson of NinersWire. The 49ers have dealt with multiple injuries to their offensive line in training camp, so Elflein was brought in as veteran depth. However, he wasn't able to make it through individual drills, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said after practice that Elflein pulled his calf. It's not clear how much time the 30-year-old will miss, but San Francisco may now need to bring in another player to reinforce their lineman corps.
