The 49ers signed Amos to the practice squad Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Amos played in 16 regular-season games between the Texans and Jets in 2023, and finished with 28 tackles (23 solo) and one pass defended. He signed with the Jaguars in early August, but he was unsuccessful in making the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Amos will provide much-needed depth for the 49ers, as George Odum and Ji'Ayir Brown are the only healthy safeties on the active roster.

Amos signed a deal with the Jaguars on Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Amos began the 2023 season with the Jets, then joined the Texans in December after being waived. Across 16 regular-season games last year, the 2015 fifth-round pick accumulated 28 tackles (23 solo) and one pass defended. Amos will add depth to the Jaguars' secondary behind starting safeties Andre Cisco and Darnell Savage.

Amos signed a contract with the Texans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Amos was waived by the Jets on Saturday and was able to clear waivers, making him a free agent. The veteran saw his role shrink in New York as the season went along and paved the way for his departure. Amos should help provide some depth and stability at safety for Houston, who has dealt with multiple injuries at the position this season, including having M.J. Stewart (shoulder) and Eric Murray (knee) on injured reserve for the time being.

Amos was waived by the Jets on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Amos and the Jets reportedly both agreed to part ways. This is not too surprising, as the veteran safety has seen his role reduced since the first four weeks of the season. He will now be free to look for a new opportunity of his choosing, assuming he clears waivers.

Amos recorded 11 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Dolphins. Amos' 11-tackle performance on Christmas Day ties his previous career high in that category, which he set in Week 17 of the 2017 campaign. The veteran safety has now registered double-digit stops on three separate occasions this season, and he'll continue serving as one of Green Bay's main defensive contributors when the Packers host the Vikings in a critical New Year's Day matchup.
