Tomlinson may not be a familiar name to many fans, as he has not appeared in an NFL game since the 2023 season with the Los Angeles Rams.
San Francisco originally claimed Tomlinson off waivers on March 7, 2025. He was later waived with an injury designation on May 9 and, after going unclaimed, reverted to the 49ers' injured reserve list.
Tomlinson (5-9, 177) entered the NFL as a sixth-round pick by the Rams in the 2023 NFL Draft. He has appeared in 15 career games, recording 13 tackles, according to Pro Football Reference, while contributing primarily on special teams.
