Cameron Sample: Let go due to injury
The 49ers waived Sample (knee), per the NFL's transaction log.
Sample's knee injury seems to be a more significant issue, as the defensive end was promptly waived following full evaluation. With the 49ers' roster being chock-full of injured players, any roster transaction allows the team to sign fresh prospects who could fill the void. Sample will go on waivers, and once he likely clears, he will be a free agent.

49ers' Cameron Sample: Absent with knee issue
Sample (knee) missed Saturday's practice session, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Sample overcame an oblique injury in a short two-week span during the 2025 season, so it is likely the outside linebacker can recover quickly from this knee setback. The 49ers' depth option is battle-tested from his time on the Bengals and will be a strong "break glass" option if the team's infamous injury bug persists in 2026.

49ers' Cameron Sample: Joining 49ers defense
Sample has agreed to a one-year deal with the 49ers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Sample, who the Bengals took in the fourth round of the 2021 Draft, recorded 17 tackles and two sacks in 14 regular-season games (including two starts) for Cincinnati in 2025. With San Francisco, the Tulane product will bolster his new team's defensive line depth, though Sample will remain off the IDP radar unless he sees an uptick in playing time in his new locale.

Sample (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Bengals' Cameron Sample: Exits with oblique injury
Sample (oblique) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Sample is having his right oblique evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Trey Hendrickson (hip) inactive, Myles Murphy, Isaiah Foskey and Cedric Johnson are candidates to see a slight uptick in defensive snaps for as long as Sample is out of the game.
