Top Aaron Burbridge News

  • Aaron Burbridge: Closing his career

    Burbridge was waived by the Broncos on Wednesday and will retire from the NFL, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Burbridge signed a reserve/future contract with the Broncos in January but will call it a career before the start of spring training. The 25-year-old caught seven passes for 88 yards during his rookie year with the 49ers in 2016, but he hasn't appeared in a game since and spent much of the last two seasons battling hamstring injuries.

  • Broncos' Aaron Burbridge: Signs with Denver

    Burbridge signed a futures contract with Denver on Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Burbridge spent time on the 49ers' practice squad in 2018 but didn't appear in any regular-season games. His lone regular-season action came as a rookie in 2016, when he caught seven passes for 88 yards while appearing in all 16 games for San Francisco. He'll look to secure a role as a depth receiver and special teams player for the Broncos in 2019.

  • Aaron Burbridge: Released from San Francisco's practice squad

    Burbridge was released from the 49ers' practice squad Thursday.

    Burbidge signed with San Francisco's practice squad last week, but he was ultimately unable to stick with the unit. The former sixth-round pick is now free to search for a depth role elsewhere in the league, but it seems unlikely that Burbridge will find a meaningful offensive role this season.

  • Aaron Burbridge: Inks deal to join SF practice squad

    Burbridge was signed to San Francisco's practice squad Tuesday.

    Burbridge has a ways to go before cracking the Niners' starting receiving corps. The Michigan State product has familiarity with the organization, having been drafted by the 49ers back in 2016. If Burbridge is to squeak onto the active roster at some point this season, there's a slim chance he'd be used in the offensive game plan.

  • Aaron Burbridge: Reaches injury settlement

    Burbridge (hamstring) and the 49ers agreed to an injury settlement Wednesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Burbridge was unable to make it through San Francisco's final roster cuts after a quiet preseason, and was subsequently placed on injured reserve. He will now be able to search for a new team once his health is up to par.

  • 49ers' Aaron Burbridge: Reverts to IR

    Burbridge (hamstring) cleared waivers and reverted to injured reserve, according to the league's official transaction log.

    Burbridge is now stuck on IR through the end of the league year unless he reaches an injury settlement with San Francisco.

  • 49ers' Aaron Burbridge: Waived/injured by San Francisco

    Burbridge (hamstring) was waived/injured by the 49ers on Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Burbridge, who had an uphill climb to make the 49ers final roster, missed out on his last opportunity to impress the team's coaches when he was ruled out for the preseason finale against the Chargers. He'll now likely revert back to San Francisco's injured reserve once he clears waivers.

  • 49ers' Aaron Burbridge: Nursing hamstring injury

    Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Burbridge is nursing a hamstring injury and won't be available for the 49ers' preseason finale Thursday against the Chargers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.

    Shanahan said it's possible Burbridge could be available for Week 1, suggesting the receiver isn't dealing with a particularly severe hamstring injury. His impending absence Thursday should open up snaps for other depth receivers, such as Richie James and Aldrick Robinson, in what could be their final chance to impress before San Francisco has to trim its roster to 53 players.

  • 49ers' Aaron Burbridge: Performs well in spring workouts

    Burbridge has emerged as one of the 49ers' top players on special teams, Brad Almquist of KNBR reports.

    Burbridge saw over 200 snaps on both offense and special teams as a rookie in 2016, but the receiver then spent the entire 2017 season on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. However, it doesn't seem like his job is in jeopardy, as Burbridge's reportedly good showing in minicamp and OTAs this spring suggests he has an inside track to a roster spot ahead of the 2018 campaign. However, the Niners suddenly have a host of intriguing options at receiver, so Burbidge might not be a great bet to see as many offensive snaps as he did in his first year.

  • 49ers' Aaron Burbridge: Moved to IR

    Burbridge (hamstring) was moved to injured reserve Saturday, Cam Inman of the Mercury News reports.

    Burbridge injured his hamstring early on in training camp and is now set to miss the entire year. He's unlikely to come off injured reserve unless he agrees to an injury settlement.

  • 49ers' Aaron Burbridge: Remains out

    Burbridge (hamstring) did not suit up for Sunday's preseason loss to the Vikings.

    Burbridge has now missed two games after injuring his hamstring in the 49ers' preseason opener against the Chiefs. His ill-timed injury has damaged his fleeting chance of making the final roster.

  • 49ers' Aaron Burbridge: Unlikely to play Saturday

    Burbridge (hamstring) is not expected to suit up for Saturday's preseason game against Denver, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Burbridge has sat out of practice in the past week, so this isn't a surprise. His hamstring will continue to hinder Burbridge's long-shot chances of making the Week 1 roster.

  • 49ers' Aaron Burbridge: Injures hamstring

    Burbridge was knocked out of Friday's preseason game versus the Chiefs after injuring his hamstring, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Burbridge failed to record a catch before exiting the game. The 23-year-old is trying to earn a spot on the final roster, which would most likely be in special teams role. The severity of the hamstring injury is unknown, but a prompt return to practice would naturally be advantageous in terms of his chances of making the team.

  • 49ers' Aaron Burbridge: Catches one pass for 23 yards

    Burbridge caught one pass (two targets) for 23 yards in Sunday's season-finale against the Seahawks.

    The rookie wideout was buried on the depth chart for the majority of the season, but he saw more reps in the final weeks of the season once injuries took a toll on the 49ers' receiving corps. The lack of targets (eight over the last three weeks) make it hard to evaluate the 2015 Big Ten Receiver of the Year heading into next season. The 49ers' offseason moves will determine whether or not playing time will be available for Burbridge.

  • 49ers' Aaron Burbridge: Posts 15 yards in win Saturday

    Burbridge pulled in two of his three targets for 15 yards in Saturday's win over the Rams.

    Even with injuries to both Torrey Smith (concussion) and Quinton Patton (foot), Burbridge took a back seat to veteran wideouts Jeremy Kerley and Rod Streater. Burbridge has minimal value as the third wideout in San Francisco's aerial attack.

  • 49ers' Aaron Burbridge: Gains 29 yards in loss

    Burbridge saw career highs in catches (two), yards (29) and targets (three) in Sunday's blowout loss to the Falcons.

    The 2016 sixth-round pick was called upon after Quinton Patton (foot) was knocked out of Sunday's contest. He made the most of his brief opportunity, hooking up with Colin Kaepernick for gains of 14 and 15 yards. Burbridge lacks size (6-foot-1, 208 pounds), but does possess athleticism and could be in line for more playing time if Torrey Smith (concussion) and Quinton Patton (foot) are unable to suit up Saturday against the Rams.
