  • 49ers' Akeem Spence: Will be active at Denver

    San Francisco elevated Spence from its practice squad Saturday for Week 3. Spence appeared in just one game in 2021, logging one tackle in five defensive snaps. He will probably work in a limited reserve role Sunday as long as Javon Kinlaw and Kevin Givens remain healthy.

  • 49ers' Akeem Spence: Suffers potential concussion

    Spence left Thursday's preseason game against the Texans to be evaluated for a concussion, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

  • Football Team's Akeem Spence: Signed by Washington

    Spence was signed to Washington's active roster Thursday. Spence provides the team with some much-needed help at defensive tackle with Jonathan Allen, Matthew Ioannidis and Tim Settle all hitting the reserve/COVID-19 list this week. After not appearing in any games this season, it's possible that the 30-year-old may be thrust into a starting role in Week 15 against the Eagles.

  • Akeem Spence: Released by Eagles

    Spence was released by the Eagles on Monday, Les Bowen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

  • Eagles' Akeem Spence: Heading to Philadelphia

    Spence signed a one-year contract with the Eagles on Tuesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Spence had been without a team since being cut by Miami on Aug. 28. The 27-year-old played in at least 600 defensive snaps over the previous two seasons, collecting 81 total tackles, five sacks and a forced fumble in that span. Spence will provide the Eagles with depth on their defensive front in the wake of Malik Jackson's (foot) placement on injured reserve Tuesday.

  • Akeem Spence: Cut by Miami

    The Dolphins released Spence on Tuesday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports. Spence is one of a slew of veteran cuts made by Miami on Tuesday, as the team takes the next step in an apparent transition toward youth. The seventh-year defensive tackle played 666 snaps across 16 games in Miami last season and should have little issue latching on as a situational pass rusher elsewhere in the league.

  • Lions' Akeem Spence: Tallies three sacks in 2017

    Spence recorded 39 tackles, three sacks and one forced fumble over 16 games in 2017. Spence showed he can be a valuable asset as a situational pass rusher for the Lions, but he also frustratingly committed six penalties this term. While the Illinois product has never been of much utility in IDP formats, Spence could be headed for the largest workload of his career in 2018 if Haloti Ngata (biceps) either retires or leaves in free agency.
