Titans' Trenton Cannon: Won't return Monday
Rotowire
Cannon (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Bills, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Cannon suffered the knee injury while helping cover on the opening kickoff. He was able to walk off the field, but he did so with the assistance of the training staff. In his absence, wideout Kyle Phillips will likely take over the team's kick-return duties. However, of greater importance, Derrick Henry and Hassan Haskins will be the team's only healthy running backs, as the team is already without Dontrell Hilliard (hamstring) and Julius Chestnut (coach's decision).

Titans' Trenton Cannon: Injured on return
Rotowire
Cannon exited Monday's game against the Bills with a knee injury, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Cannon was injured while helping cover on the opening kickoff. He was able to walk off the field, but did so with the assistance of the training staff. While Cannon is out, Kyle Phillips will likely take over the team's kick-return duties. Of potential greater concern with Dontrell Hilliard (hamstring) and Julius Chestnut (coach's decision) inactive is the fact Cannon's exit leaves Derrick Henry and Hassan Haskins as the team's only healthy running backs.

Cannon failed to make the Titans' initial 53-man roster, but he'll join the practice squad as an emergency return man. The 2018 sixth-round pick returned 16 kickoffs for 328 yards in 11 appearances with the 49ers last year.

Trenton Cannon: Released by Tennessee
Rotowire
The Titans released Cannon on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's site reports.
Trenton, a 2018 sixth-round pick by the Jets, ran 38 times for 113 yards and a touchdown as a rookie, but he's only garnered 12 rushing attempts since. However, he remains a productive return man, bringing back 16 kickoffs for 328 yards in 11 appearances with the 49ers last year. Regardless, he'll have to look for a new opportunity in 2022 after failing to make the Titans' initial 53-man roster.

Cannon was sidelined for nearly two months after sustaining a concussion in Week 13, but he returned to practice Jan. 12. The 27-year-old lost out on his kick-return duties shortly before his absence, so it's not yet clear whether he'll have a role on special teams Sunday.

49ers' Trenton Cannon: Injuries could open up opportunity
Rotowire
Cannon could see his role expand with all three running backs ahead of him on the depth chart dealing with injuries.
Cannon -- who was signed mid-week prior to Sunday's win over the Eagles -- received one carry for minus-1 yard after Elijah Mitchell (shoulder), Trey Sermon (concussion) and JaMycal Hasty (ankle) all went down to injury. Only the latter is confirmed to have a long-term injury, so Cannon isn't guaranteed to start against the Packers on Sunday. The team also is bringing in a trio of veteran backs (T.J. Yeldon, Duke Johnson and Lamar Miller) to work out this week, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Cannon still could be worth a speculative add in the event the 49ers' current backs have to sit out, and the veteran options aren't ready to play.

49ers' Trenton Cannon: New home in San Francisco
Rotowire
The 49ers claimed Cannon off waivers Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Cannon was the clear No. 3 running back for the Ravens' reconfigured backfield Monday at Las Vegas, earning nine snaps on defense and 15 on special teams en route to two carries for five yards and one tackle. Baltimore promptly waived him Tuesday, only for similarly RB-needy San Francisco to scoop him up. With all of Elijah Mitchell, JaMycal Hasty and Trey Sermon in front of him, it'll be difficult for Cannon to be much more than a special teamer on his new squad.

Ravens' Trenton Cannon: Signs with Baltimore
Rotowire
Cannon signed with the Ravens on Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official website reports.
Cannon made Carolina's initial 53-man roster before being waived a couple days later. He's played 62 percent of his career NFL snaps on special teams, which is where he'll likely see most of his work even after joining an injury-ravaged backfield. Cannon could get a few Week 1 touches as the No. 3 back behind Gus Edwards and Ty'Son Williams, but the Ravens also have Le'Veon Bell on the practice squad in case Edwards and/or Williams suffer an injury.
