Jaylon

Allen

The veteran back didn’t play in the preseason at all despite the amount of injuries the 49ers running back room dealt with. He’s a likely practice squad candidate after playing with the 49ers last season. The 49ers also waived/injured QB Carter Bradley and QB Tanner Mordecai, while waiving (regular) DL Jaylon Allen and DL Shakel Brown. Finally, they sent OL Isaiah Prince to injured reserve.

Allen also recently worked out with the Cardinals but left without a deal. The former UFL EDGE totaled 1.5 sacks and 12 tackles with the Memphis Showboats this spring. In addition to Allen, the Panthers also worked out EDGEs J.J. Weaver and Jaheim Thomas.

Allen initially signed with the Broncos and a UDFA last year but was released with an injury settlement. He totaled 1.5 sacks, 1.0 TFLs and 12 solo tackles with the UFL’s Memphis Showboats in the 2025 regular season. The Cardinals also worked out DT Kyon Barrs, LB Joe Evans, Kevin Hester and Sheldon Newton.
