The San Francisco 49ers released veteran safety George Odum on Saturday, one day after placing him on the active/non-football injury list.

Odum, 31, played 12 games for the 49ers last season (two starts) and recorded 11 tackles on defense and a career-high four passes defended, as well as five tackles on special teams.

He made The Associated Press’ Second-Team All-Pro for special teams in 2022, when he led the league with 21 special teams tackles in his first season with San Francisco. He also made the AP First-Team All-Pro in 2020 with the Indianapolis Colts, also for special teams.

Odum has totaled 200 tackles, three interceptions, nine passes defended, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 105 games (12 starts) for the Colts (2018-21) and 49ers (2022-24).
