Kenneth Acker: Reaches injury settlement

Jaguars' Kenneth Acker: Dealing with ankle injury
Acker left Thursday's preseason game against the Buccaneers with an ankle injury, Mike Kaye of FirstCoastNews.com reports.
Acker played only 10 special teams snaps before exiting with the injury. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but the 26-year-old is unlikely to make the Jaguars' 53-man roster regardless.

Jaguars' Kenneth Acker: Signing with Jacksonville
Acker is signing a contract with the Jaguars, Mike Kaye of FirstCoastNews.com reports.
Acker hasn't seen significant playing time on defense since his 2015 season with the 49ers and he certainly isn't guaranteed a roster spot with the Jaguars. The SMU product will more than likely need to impress on special teams in order to have a chance of surviving final roster cuts.

Colts' Kenneth Acker: Signs with Indianapolis
Acker agreed to a contract Wednesday with the Colts, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.
Acker appeared in all 16 games for the Chiefs in 2017 and finished with 23 tackles and one interception while playing over 200 snaps on both defense and special teams. He's off the IDP radar at present, but that could change if he somehow manages to carve out a significant role within the Colts' unsettled cornerback group.

Chiefs' Kenneth Acker: Gets top snaps at cornerback in preseason opener
Acker (groin) played a team-high 41 snaps at cornerback in the Chiefs' preseason opener against the 49ers.
Acker left practice with a groin injury back in June, but it appears as though he's back to full strength after putting together a solid outing to kick off the preseason. While Acker did take the most snaps, he'll likely still be fighting for a depth spot at cornerback for the rest of training camp.

Chiefs' Kenneth Acker: Leaves practice with groin injury
Acker left Tuesday's practice session early with a groin injury, BJ Kissel of Chiefs.com reports.
Acker's injury was described as "slight" issue, so he may be able to return later in the week. If the team elects to proceed cautiously with Acker, his next chance to return would come at the start of training camp when he'll be in a battle for a depth spot at cornerback.

49ers' Kenneth Acker: Traded to Kansas City
Acker was traded from the 49ers to the Chiefs on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Not assured of a roster spot, Acker was presumably traded for a conditional late-round pick. The 2014 sixth-round selection did make 13 starts for the injury-plagued 49ers last season, but he profiles as a No. 4 or 5 cornerback for most organizations.

49ers' Kenneth Acker: Dropped down the depth chart
Acker had been moved down in the 49ers' first unofficial depth chart.
Acker was listed behind Dontae Johnson (who he beat for a starting role last year) and rookie Rashard Robinson. This comes as a bit of a surprise after he put up respectable numbers in 2015 (65 tackles and three picks). This was the first depth chart released, so things can definitely change between now and the start of the regular season, but for now it appears that Acker has fallen out of favor with defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil.
