Impact Dennard signed a one-year deal with the 49ers after appearing in the team's divisional-round win over the Packers in January -- his lone contest with the team.

Signs with Giants' practice squad The Giants signed Dennard to their practice squad Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Gets practice squad chance The Colts signed Dennard to the practice squad Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan reports.

Impact Dennard is a former first-round pick with plenty of experience. He makes for an ideal emergency reserve option at cornerback.

OCTOBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches injury settlement The Cardinals waived Dennard (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Thursday, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.

Impact Dennard will now be eligible to sign another contract once he's healthy, but he'll need to wait at least three weeks if he wants to re-sign with the Cardinals. The 2014 first-round pick has played just 17 games over the last two seasons, recording 73 tackles, 10 pass breakups and an interception.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Done for the season The Cardinals placed Dennard (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact The transaction's timing brings an end to Dennard's 2021 season, barring an injury settlement. The nature of the veteran cornerback's injury remains undisclosed, but the fact that he's sidelined would seem to thrust rookie Marco Wilson into a larger backup role. Dennard only logged eight appearances in Atlanta last season before suffering a quadriceps injury.

Signed by Arizona Dennard signed a one-year contract with the Cardinals on Thursday.

Impact Dennard played in just eight games with the Falcons before missing the remainder of the 2020 season with a quadriceps injury. The 29-year-old will join his second team in as many years after spending his first six campaigns with the Bengals.

Cardinals sign former Bengals, Falcons CB Darqueze Dennard to round out CB room Dennard played six seasons for the Cincinnati Bengals and one with the Atlanta Falcons. He was coached by Cardinals DC Vance Joseph.

Could remain in Atlanta The Falcons could prioritize retaining Dennard (quadriceps) this offseason, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Dennard was a pillar of Atlanta's secondary when healthy in 2020, but it's fair to say that injury concerns have been consistent for the veteran cornerback recently. He was only able to suit up for eight games with the Falcons in 2020 before a quadriceps injury prematurely ended his year, and he only managed nine appearances with the Bengals the season prior. Factoring in that medical history, Dennard could be motivated to agree to a team-friendly deal with the Falcons this offseason.

Won't return in Week 17 Dennard (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Will McFadden of AtlantaFalcons.com reports.

Impact Dennard was unable to practice in any capacity throughout the week and will miss the Falcons' season finale as a result. His 2020 campaign comes to an end with 36 tackles (28 solo), five passes defensed and one interception in eight games.

Misses another practice Dennard (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated injury report, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The veteran defensive back appears to be in jeopardy of sitting out a third consecutive game, having missed back-to-back practice sessions to kick off the week. Dennard has yet to demonstrate any progress towards a Week 17 activation, as he remains without even a limited practice appearance since Dec. 16. A positive COVID-19 test within the organization kept the Falcons from practicing Thursday. Should Atlanta return to in-person activities Friday, Dennard's status for the regular-season finale in Tampa Bay may become more clear.

DECEMBER 31, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined by quad injury Dennard (quadriceps) didn't practice Wednesday, Jason Butt of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Dennard has missed the past two games due to this injury, and it looks like he could be tracking toward a third consecutive absence. The starting cornerback's absence would create additional opportunities for Tom Brady and the high-powered Tampa Bay passing attack in the regular season finale, though Dennard will have two more opportunities to return to practice this week and show progress in his recovery.
