49ers Trying Out DB Blake Countess

Aaron Wilson reports that the San Francisco 49ers are trying out DB Blake Countess at their rookie minicamp.

Countess, 27, was taken in the sixth round out of Auburn in 2016 by the Eagles. He was cut loose coming out of the preseason and later signed on to the Rams practice squad.

The Eagles later claimed Countess off waivers from the Rams before waiving him during the preseason with an injury settlement. From there, he caught on with the Jets and eventually signed on to the Eagles’ practice squad, but Philadelphia elected to let Countess go back in March.

In 2020, Countess appeared in two games for the Eagles and recorded three tackles.
