• Cameron Latu: Added to Browns' practice squad

  08/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Latu signed with Cleveland's practice squad Thursday. The 2023 third-round selection of the 49ers missed his entire rookie season due to a meniscus injury. Latu entered training camp competing for a depth role at tight end, and despite having a solid preseason in which he recorded eight catches (on 10 targets) for 84 yards, he was waived by San Francisco on Tuesday. David Njoku (undisclosed) and Jordan Akins are the only two tight ends on the Browns' active roster, and if either of them were to miss time, Latu would be a prime candidate to be elevated to the active roster.

  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.

• 49ers' Cameron Latu: Catches all passes Friday

  08/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  Latu had three receptions on as many targets for 42 yards in Friday's preseason finale against Las Vegas. Latu appeared in all three of San Francisco's exhibition contests this preseason, finishing with eight receptions (10 targets) for 84 yards. Despite the tight end's healthy debut this offseason, the front office still signed veteran Logan Thomas to enter the mix for snaps behind George Kittle this upcoming campaign. Latu possesses more fantasy upside than the team's other TE backups, but it sounds like the 2023 third-round selection will have to truly earn his way onto the club this season.

  08/19/2024 • By RotoWire

  Latu corralled three of five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 16-10 preseason victory over the Saints. Latu caught a pair of balls in San Francisco's preseason opener and followed that up with another positive performance. This all follows a lengthy rehab from a torn meniscus that cost the 2023 third-round pick his entire rookie campaign. With consecutive healthy showings this exhibition season, Latu looks ready to officially make his debut with the 49ers. The Alabama product will compete with veteran Eric Saubert for one of the vacant roles backing George Kittle this upcoming season.
