The 49ers claimed Tomlinson off waivers Friday. Tomlinson was waived by the Rams on Wednesday, quickly finding a new home just a couple of days later. The cornerback hasn't appeared in a game since 2023 after spending this past season on injured reserve with Los Angeles while nursing an undisclosed injury. If he sticks around San Francisco in 2025, Tomlinson will provide the 49ers with a depth option in their secondary and another body on special teams.

The 49ers claimed Tomlinson off waivers Friday. Tomlinson was waived by the Rams on Wednesday, quickly finding a new home just a couple of days later. The cornerback hasn't appeared in a game since 2023 after spending this past season on injured reserve with Los Angeles while nursing an undisclosed injury. If he sticks around San Francisco in 2025, Tomlinson will provide the 49ers with a depth option in their secondary and another body on special teams.
The Rams Adam Schefter of ESPN Tomlinson on Wednesay, Adam reports. Tomlinson spent the entire 2024 season on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury. Assuming he clears waivers, Tomlinson will look to catch on with a team in need of help on special teams and depth in the secondary. Tomlinson appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Rams in 2023 and logged 13 tackles (11 solo) while mostly serving on special teams.
Tomlinson (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Tomlinson suited up in 15 regular-season games for the Rams last season. He could still receive an injury settlement with the team, but if not, he'll remain on IR throughout the season.
