Anthony Averett turned a tryout at rookie minicamp into a contract.
Las Vegas Raiders defensive back Anthony Averett breaks up a pass to Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. during an NFL game on Nov. 6, 2022, in Jacksonville, Fla.Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold: ‘I would jam Mom into the dirt’After an injury-affected 2022 season, Averett appeared on the rosters of the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions in 2023 without playing. He had been a free agent since the Lions released him from their practice squad on Nov. 14.
Averett moved into a starting role when Marcus Peters got hurt in the second game of the 2021 season. Averett’s performance across 14 starts in Baltimore’s defensive backfield included his three NFL interceptions and earned him a one-year, $4 million contract from the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency.
Averett came out of 2022′s season-opening game with a broken thumb. He returned on Oct. 23 and had started at cornerback and free safety before going out again after six games because of a broken toe sustained in a 40-34 overtime victory against the Seattle Seahawks. He missed the remainder of the season, then stayed in free agency until Aug. 3, 2023, when the 49ers signed him.
But on Aug. 11, Averett went on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury, and one week later, San Francisco released him with an injury settlement.Avery comes aboard with Pittsburgh thin at cornerback. Second-round pick Joey Porter Jr. started the final 11 games of his rookie season at cornerback for the Steelers in 2023, and cornerback Donte Jackson came over this offseason in a trade after starting 16 games for the Carolina Panthers.
