Khalil Dinkins is out, and a non-football injury is the reason

Getting waived is hard enough. Getting waived with a non-football injury designation adds a different kind of weight — it means the team is saying the health situation didn't come from the job.

Dinkins is a tight end who was with the San Francisco 49ers, though the facts available here are thin on his path to this moment. What is clear is that he is out, and the 49ers moved on to free up a roster spot for someone new coming in.

For a player on the roster bubble, a non-football injury designation can complicate things beyond just losing the spot. It affects how a player can be claimed or brought back, and it frames the conversation about what comes next.

The door isn't necessarily closed — but right now, it isn't open either.
