Steven Dunbar

The Broncos waived Dunbar (ribs) on Friday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Analysis: Dunbar exited Thursday's preseason tilt against the Cardinals due to a rib injury, so it's a positive sign that he was waived without an injury designation. He recorded two snaps on special teams with the 49ers last season, and will look to catch on in a depth capacity elsewhere in the league.

Dunbar is questionable to return to Thursday's preseason game against the Cardinals due to a rib injury, Zac Stevens of BSNDenver.com reports.

Analysis: It's known what play Dunbar suffered the injury on, but it would certainly help his chances of making the 53-man roster if he's cleared to return to the last preseason contest.

Dunbar signed a contract with the Broncos on Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Dunbar found his way to San Francisco for the 2018 season after going undrafted out of Houston. The 23-year-old was active for the season finale but didn't record an offensive statistic over one offensive snap and two special teams snaps.

Dunbar was waived by the 49ers on Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: Dunbar, who went undrafted out of Houston in 2018, was active for the 49ers' season finale but did not record an offensive statistic. The 23-year-old will now search for a depth role elsewhere in the league.

The 49ers elevated Dunbar to the 49ers active roster Wednesday.

Analysis: The Niners will be without Dante Pettis (knee) in the season finale and Marquise Goodwin is dealing with a calf injury, so Dunbar provides depth at wide receiver. If Goodwin is unable to play, Dunbar, an undrafted rookie, will serve as the No. 4 wideout in his first NFL game.
