After Dallas drafted him No. 28 overall, he played just over two seasons with the Cowboys before being released two weeks into the 2019 season. He played the rest of 2019 with the Dolphins, then signed with the Chiefs in 2020 and has since played sparingly with the Steelers and Bears.The 49ers have been a home for several defensive linemen to pump up their value in recent years, as Kerry Hyder Jr. and Arden Key both parlayed stints with the team into larger free-agent deals in recent years.Related ArticlesSan Francisco 49ers | Slowing the 49ers’ bandwagon: How the 2023 season could go wrong San Francisco 49ers | 49ers training camp: Top 5 observ...

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Efforts to help Haitians survive the gang violence swamping their nation suffered a grave blow with the kidnapping of an American nurse from New Hampshire and her young daughter, who remained missing Tuesday. Around 200 Haitians had marched in their nation’s capital to show their anger over the abduction of Alix Dorsainvil, who was working for nonprofit Christian ministry El Roi Haiti when she and the girl were seized Thursday.
