Pat Elflein: Cut from injured reserve
The 49ers released Elflein (calf) from injured reserve Friday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
After joining the 49ers last Friday, Elflein injured his calf shortly thereafter and landed on IR. He now will need to meet the terms of his settlement before he'll be able to pursue another opportunity elsewhere.

The 49ers placed Elflein (calf) on injured reserve Monday.

49ers' Pat Elflein: Signed by 49ers, then gets hurt
San Francisco signed Elflein to a contract Friday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. The offensive lineman then suffered a calf injury in practice, per Kyle Madson of NinersWire.
The 49ers have dealt with multiple injuries to their offensive line in training camp, so Elflein was brought in as veteran depth. However, he wasn't able to make it through individual drills, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said after practice that Elflein pulled his calf. It's not clear how much time the 30-year-old will miss, but San Francisco may now need to bring in another player to reinforce their lineman corps.

Elflein will join the Cardinals ahead of their training camp and he will likely operate as the team's backup center behind Hjalte Froholdt in 2023.

Pat Elflein: Released by Panthers
The Panthers released Elflein (hip) with a failed physical designation Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Signed to a three-year deal ahead of the 2021 season, Elflein battled injuries in Carolina, missing 19 of 34 games for the Panthers. He required hip surgery back in October, and another team may want to make sure he's healthy before bringing him aboard. Elflein's release clears over $4.2 million in cap space.

Panthers' Pat Elflein: Set for season-ending surgery
Elflein is due to undergo a hip surgery that will end his 2022 season, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
A hip issue that cropped up after Week 6 held Elflein out of Sunday's win versus Tampa Bay, and it will now keep the 28-year-old center sidelined for the rest of the campaign. Bradley Bozeman should serve as a more than capable replacement for the rest of the year.

Panthers' Pat Elflein: Placed on IR
Elflein (hip) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Elflein was considered unlikely to play Sunday against the Buccaneers due to the injury. However, it appears the injury was severe enough that not only will he not play Sunday, but he'll miss at least the next four weeks. Bradley Bozeman should handle the center position until Elflein can return to action.
