Apple was released by the 49ers on Thursday. Apple lasted less than two weeks in the organization after signing with San Francisco following a tryout July 27. He'll look to latch on with another team during the preseason. The veteran cornerback has appeared in 102 regular-season games, split between the Giants, Saints, Panthers, Bengals, Dolphins and Chargers.

Apple (hamstring) is active for Saturday's clash against Houston in the wild-card round. Apple played in just four contests during the regular season, and he spent the final six weeks on IR due to a hamstring injury. The veteran cornerback was activated from IR on Friday, and he'll be available to provide depth in the secondary against the Texans. Apple wasn't a big part of the Chargers' defense even when healthy, though, as he logged just 13 defensive snaps over his final three contests.

The Chargers activated Apple (hamstring) from IR on Friday. Apple remains officially listed as questionable for Saturday's road AFC wild-card matchup against the Texans, but his activation from IR is a necessary first step if he's going to take the field. If cleared to suit up at Houston, the veteran cornerback will figure to handle a depth role on defense.

The Chargers placed Apple (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday. Apple suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter of Monday's loss to the Ravens. By being placed on injured reserve, Apple will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 17 against the Patriots on Sunday, Dec. 29 the earliest he can return. Tarheeb Still, Ja'Sir Taylor and Deane Leonard will serve as the primary backups at corner due to Apple's injury.

Apple (hamstring) will not return to Monday night's game against the Ravens. The cornerback suffered the injury in the first quarter and left the game before recording a stat. Ja'Sir Taylor, Tarheeb Still and Deane Leonard are the remaining available backup corners for the Chargers.
