Tank Carradine: Exits Oakland
Carradine was released by the Raiders on Friday per his request, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Carradine is looking for a situation that will provide him with a larger role. The veteran started seven games for the 49ers last season, and recorded 10 tackles (six solo) for the Raiders during the preseason. Still, he only saw 24 snaps through four games, but will now have the opportunity to look for greener pastures.

Raiders' Tank Carradine: Joins Oakland
Carradine signed a contract with the Raiders on Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.
Carradine missed the first half of the 2017 season with a knee injury but recorded 19 tackles (14 solo) and 1.5 sacks in the final eight games of the season with San Francisco. The 29-year-old is likely to serve a rotational role for the Raiders' defensive line unit in 2018.

49ers' Tank Carradine: Decent in partial season
Carradine spent eight games on injured reserve with a knee injury, finishing with 19 tackles (14 solo) and 1.5 sacks during the 2017 campaign.
Carradine began the year as the 49ers' Leo defensive end, as his ability to play both end and linebacker profiled nicely for the prominent position in Robert Saleh's modified 4-3 defense. Seeing 20-30 defensive snaps per game on passing downs, the 28-year-old was able to notch a sack in three games before going down to a knee injury that cost him eight contests. The Leo was eventually going to be rookie Solomon Thomas' position anyhow, but the veteran's injury allowed the 49ers' first-round selection to kick-start his development a little sooner than expected. Carradine will be an unrestricted free agent at the beginning of the new league year, and given the glut of younger defensive linemen at the team's disposal, it would be surprising if he was retained.

49ers' Tank Carradine: Activated off IR
The 49ers activated Carradine off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Carridine was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return following the 49ers' Week 3 loss to the Rams. He has been practicing with the team the last two weeks and finally appears set to return Sunday barring any setbacks. He is likely to challenge for a starting role at some point, but the team figures to ease him back into action right away.

49ers' Tank Carradine: Expected back for Week 12
Carradine (ankle) is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Carradine has been practicing for two weeks now and appears to be recovering well from the high-ankle sprain that has sidelined him for the last seven contests. Assuming Carradine endures no setbacks during the week, he'll likely be activated and could immediately challenge for a starting role Sunday. At the very least, Carradine should be firmly in the mix of a defensive-end rotation that already includes Solomon Thomas (knee), Leger Douzable, Ronald Blair, Elvis Dumervil, Cassius Marsh and Aaron Lynch.

49ers' Tank Carradine: Placed on injured reserve
Carradine (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Carradine, who is nursing a high-ankle sprain, was expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks after an MRI revealed no significant damage, but the 49ers still opted to clear up a roster spot. The 28-year-old could be a candidate to return from IR in eight weeks, but in the meantime, rookie Solomon Thomas will likely see the most significant boost in playing time.

49ers' Tank Carradine: Out 4-6 weeks with high ankle sprain
Carradine (ankle) is expected to be sidelined 4-6 weeks after an MRI revealed no significant damage, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
While not great news, the 49ers have to be exhaling some sighs of relief Saturday. There were rumblings of a possible season-ending injury prior to the MRI results, so 4-6 weeks seems like a much better outlook when putting things into perspective. In the meantime, rookie Solomon Thomas should be the primary beneficiary.

49ers' Tank Carradine: Questionable to return Thursday
Carradine is considered questionable to return to Thursday's matchup with the Cardinals due to a toe injury, Matt Maiocco of the CSN Bay Area reports.

49ers' Tank Carradine: Signs contract extension
Shortly after making San Francisco's 53-man roster, Carradine signed a one-year contract extension through the 2017 season, CSN Bay Area reports.
The 2013 second-round pick looked like a bust in his first two seasons with the 49ers as a defensive lineman. The team opted to have him lose weight and move to outside linebacker this offseason and Carradine responded with his strongest camp, consequently making the final roster as a pass-rush specialist. He should see the field on passing downs until Aaron Lynch returns from suspension Week 5.

49ers' Tank Carradine: Transitions to new role as OLB
Carradine has been working as an outside linebacker this offseason, CSN Bay Area reports.
Carradine reportedly dropped some weight and has been lining up as an edge rusher at the outside linebacker position. He was even listed as a linebacker on the 49ers' unofficial depth chart that was released Tuesday. Carradine has adapted well to the new role, showing explosiveness off the edge during training camp. There's an opening on the right side of the defense for the first four weeks of the season with Aaron Lynch suspended, so Carradine could carve out a significant role if he shows an ability to execute during preseason action.
