Lands on IR

The Titans placed Cannon (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Analysis: Cannon suffered a knee injury during the opening kickoff of Monday's loss to the Bills. Jim Wyatt of the Titans official site reports that Terrance Mitchell and Andrew Adams will join the active roster in a corresponding transaction, while Chris Jackson (undisclosed) is also going on IR.

Won't return Monday

Cannon (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Bills, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: 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).

Injured on return

Cannon exited Monday's game against the Bills with a knee injury, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Analysis: 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 Hillard (hamstring) and Julius Chestnut (coach's decision) inactive, Derrick Henry and Hassan Haskins will be the team's only healthy running backs.

Lands new roster deal

Cannon signed with the Titans' 53-man roster from the team's practice squad Monday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports

Analysis: Cannon played 21 special-teams snaps after being elevated from Tennessee's practice squad ahead of Sunday's loss to the Giants, including 33 yards on two kick returns. The fifth-year back should now compete with Dontrell Hilliard and Kyle Philips for the team's top kick-return duties moving forward this season.

Elevated to active roster

The Titans have promoted Cannon to their active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 1 game against the Giants, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: According to Turron Davenport of ESPN.com, Cannon could potentially see some work at kick returner. Aside from that, he will slot in as the team's No. 5 running back on the depth chart.

Inks practice squad deal

The Titans signed Cannon to their practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: 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.

Released by Tennessee

The Titans released Cannon on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's initial 53-man roster reports.

Analysis: 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.

Joins Titans

Cannon agreed to a contract with the Titans on Wednesday, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

Analysis: Cannon spent most of the 2021 campaign with the 49ers and played only two offensive snaps in 11 contests as he primarily worked in the return game. The 27-year-old returned 16 kickoffs for 328 yards and could fill a similar role in Tennessee while also providing backfield depth behind workhorse Derrick Henry.

Activated from injured reserve

Cannon (concussion) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: 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.

Jan 29, 2022 1:50 PM EST


Returns to practice

The 49ers will designate Cannon (concussion) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: Cannon had to be taken off the field in an ambulance during the 49ers' Week 13 matchup against Seattle in early December, and he's been sidelined since then. Whether he's available for Sunday's wild-card matchup against Dallas remains to be seen, but it's encouraging to see the 27-year-old back at practice.

Jan 12, 2022 12:07 PM EST


Placed on injured reserve

Cannon (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Cannon was already ruled for Sunday against the Bengals. He'll try to get healthy and clear concussion protocols in time for Week 17 against Houston, when he is eligible to return from IR.

Dec 11, 2021 4:27 PM EST


Out Sunday

Cannon (concussion) is out Sunday against the Bengals, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: Cannon suffered the injury in Week 13 against the Seahawks and left the stadium in an ambulance. He'll keep trying to work his way through concussion protocols but in the meantime, Ambry Thomas will likely handle kick return duties.

Dec 10, 2021 4:32 PM EST


Out of hospital

Cannon (concussion) has been released from the hospital, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Cannon left Sunday's game in an ambulance after taking a knee to the head on the opening kickoff. It was since reported that he was in stable condition, and his release from the hospital is optimistic news. Still, he will remain in the team's concussion protocol going forward.

Dec 6, 2021 4:21 PM EST


In stable condition after scary hit

Cannon, who left Sunday's game in an ambulance after taking a knee to the head on the opening kickoff, "is in stable condition and will stay the night at the hospital," according to the 49ers' official Twitter account.

Analysis: The inadvertent shot Cannon took to his head certainly looked scary, but fortunately he appears to have avoided a serious injury.

Dec 5, 2021 4:40 PM EST


Leaves contest in ambulance

Cannon (concussion) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Seahawks, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.

Analysis: Cannon had to be taken off the field in an ambulance after getting hurt on the opening kickoff. More information on Cannon's status will likely be available later in the day, but in the meantime, Ambry Thomas will likely takeover as the primary kick returner for the remainder of the contest.

Injuries could open up opportunity

Cannon could see his role expand with all three running backs ahead of him on the depth chart dealing with injuries.

Analysis: Cannon -- who was signed mid-week prior to Sunday's win over the Eagles -- received one carry for negative one yard after Elijah Mitchell (shoulder), Trey Sermon (head) 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 is also bringing in a trio of veteran backs (T.J. Yeldon, Duke Johnson and Lamar Miller) to workout this week, according to AESPN's Adam Schefter. Cannon could still 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.

New home in San Francisco

The 49ers claimed Cannon off waivers Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Analysis: 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.

Sep 15, 2021 2:05 PM EST


Released by Baltimore

The Ravens released Cannon on Tuesday, Clifton Brown of Baltimore's official page reports.

Analysis: Cannon played nine offensive snaps and 15 special teams snaps in the season opener. His release will make room for either Le'Veon Bell or Devonta Freeman to be elevated from the practice squad.

Sep 14, 2021 1:57 PM EST


Lightly used on offense

Cannon had two carries for five yards Monday against the Raiders.

Analysis: The recently signed runner was lightly used in his Baltimore debut, seeing just nine of 68 offensive snaps. As expected, most of Cannon's playing time came on special teams as he logged 15 snaps in that facet of the game. Ty'Son Williams and Latavius Murray saw the majority of the carries out of the backfield Monday. Baltimore hosts Kansas City in Week 2.

Sep 14, 2021 10:41 AM EST


Signs with Baltimore

Cannon signed with the Ravens on Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official website reports.

Analysis: Cannon made the initial 53-man roster in Carolina but then was waived a couple days later. He's played 62 percent of his NFL snaps on special teams, which is where he'll likely see most of his work even after joining an injury-ravaged backfield. It is possible Cannon gets a few Week 1 touches as the No. 3 RB behind Gus Edwards and Ty'Son Williams, but the Ravens also have Le'Veon Bell on the practice squad in case Edwards/Williams suffers an injury.
