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.
