Falcons' Cameron Sample: Signs with Atlanta
The Falcons signed Sample (knee) on Monday, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site report.
Sample was waived by the 49ers on Wednesday with a knee issue. The signing means the linebacker passed his physical and should be good to go for the preseason. Sample should slot in as a third-string option at outside linebacker, right on the edge of a potential 53-man roster spot.

Cameron Sample: Let go due to injury
The 49ers waived Sample (knee), per the NFL's transaction log.
Sample's knee injury seems to be a more significant issue, as the defensive end was promptly waived following full evaluation. With the 49ers' roster being chock-full of injured players, any roster transaction allows the team to sign fresh prospects who could fill the void. Sample will go on waivers, and once he likely clears, he will be a free agent.

49ers' Cameron Sample: Absent with knee issue
Sample (knee) missed Saturday's practice session, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Sample overcame an oblique injury in a short two-week span during the 2025 season, so it is likely the outside linebacker can recover quickly from this knee setback. The 49ers' depth option is battle-tested from his time on the Bengals and will be a strong "break glass" option if the team's infamous injury bug persists in 2026.

49ers' Cameron Sample: Joining 49ers defense
Sample has agreed to a one-year deal with the 49ers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Sample, who the Bengals took in the fourth round of the 2021 Draft, recorded 17 tackles and two sacks in 14 regular-season games (including two starts) for Cincinnati in 2025. With San Francisco, the Tulane product will bolster his new team's defensive line depth, though Sample will remain off the IDP radar unless he sees an uptick in playing time in his new locale.

Bengals' Cameron Sample: Shakes off injury
Sample (oblique) was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.
Sample missed the last two games with this oblique issue, but he appears ready to return in Week 14 versus the Bills. The fifth-year defensive end has yet to play more than 33 percent of the defensive snaps in a game this season. He has posted nine tackles (five solo) through nine games.

Bengals' Cameron Sample: Inactive for Week 13
Sample (oblique) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.
Sample was held out of the Bengals' Week 12 loss to the Patriots and will now miss a second consecutive game. The depth defensive end will have a 10-day turnaround to get healthy ahead of the Week 14 matchup with the Bills.

Sample (oblique) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Ravens.
Sample was held out of the Bengals' Week 12 loss to the Patriots but was able to practice in limited fashion throughout the week. He has a chance to return for Thursday's primetime contest, though his status will be officially determined shortly before kickoff.

Bengals' Cameron Sample: Still nursing oblique issue
Sample (oblique) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday.
Sample missed Sunday's game versus the Patriots due to an oblique injury he sustained in Week 11 at Pittsburgh, and now his availability for Week 13 is in doubt. He'll probably have to manage a full practice Wednesday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Thanksgiving Day.

Bengals' Cameron Sample: Ruled out for Week 12
Sample (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Sample has played 22 percent of the defensive snaps across nine games this season, producing nine tackles (five solo) and a pair of QB hits. Isaiah Foskey could see elevated snaps as a backup off the edge for the Bengals.
