2024 Projections
Faulkner was released by the 49ers on Tuesday, Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
After the 49ers won a waiver claim on offensive lineman Michael Philipp earlier in the day, Faulkner was the chosen roster casualty. Faulkner, an undrafted free agent out of Southern Illinois, never had a realistic chance at receiving legitimate consideration for a backup gig with the 49ers with Colin Kaepernick, Blaine Gabbert, Josh Johnson and McLeod Bethel-Thompson on the 90-man roster.

2014 Fantasy Outlook
Faulkner was brought in by the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2014. There was nothing special about his numbers at SIU, but Coach Jim Harbaugh took a particular liking to the quarterback, giving him a chance to compete for a backup role. He ended up getting cut by the 49ers early in camp, but there's still a chance he could reemerge as a practice squad player for the organization later in the season.
