The San Francisco 49ers have cut veteran cornerback Eli Apple before their first preseason game, marking his second release by the team during training camp in just one year. Signed to a reserve future contract after being waived earlier in the offseason, Apple was competing for a backup spot but faced stiff competition from younger players and newly added veterans like Jack Jones and Nate Hobbs. Despite snagging an interception early in camp, he couldn’t crack the roster — a move that gives the 49ers flexibility as they build depth at cornerback. Financially, it’s a low-risk decision: Apple’s one-year deal had no guarantees, and his NFL experience could still land him elsewhere if injuries strike.
