The Commanders waived Cole on Tuesday.
Analysis: Cole operated as a return man during the Commanders' first two exhibition contests and finally got involved in the passing attacking during the preseason finale, catching two of three targets for 36 yards. The 25-year-old wideout appeared in one game for the 49ers in 2020 and one game for the Panthers in 2021, but he played exclusively on special teams.

The Commanders signed Cole on Monday.
Analysis: The 5-foot-10 pass catcher will join Washington after fellow wideout Jequez Ezzard (undisclosed) reverted to the team's injured reserve list Monday. Cole did not register a catch over two games played in his career for the 49ers in 2020 and the Panthers in 2021, but his experience on special teams could give him a leg up in securing a spot with Washington this preseason.

May 4, 2021 7:57 PM EST
Cole (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: San Francisco has plenty of depth at the wide receiver position for Week 16, with Richie James, River Cracraft and Jordan Matthews all available as depth options behind Brandon Aiyuk and Kendrick Bourne. The 24-year-old just signed with the 49ers on Christmas Eve, so it's less than surprising he wasn't able to crack the lineup within such a short span.
Dec 26, 2020 12:09 PM EST
Cole was signed to a two-year contract by the 49ers on Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Cole, who attended Division II McKendree University in Illinois, has been with the Dolphins' practice squad throughout his rookie campaign. He has yet to make an NFL appearance, but that could change soon given the two-year contract and the 49ers' depleted receiver corps. Cole could also contribute on special teams, as he returned both kickoffs and punts as a collegiate player.

Nov 12, 2020 4:29 PM EST
The Dolphins waived Cole on Friday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins gave Cole a chance as an undrafted free agent from Division II McKendree (Ill.), but he didn't make the final roster. He flashed skill as both a receiver and returner in college, so perhaps the Dolphins can develop him on the practice squad.
