Signing extension
Odum is set to sign a two-year contract extension, which could be worth up to $10 million, with the 49ers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Odum had one year left on his three-year contract signed in 2022, but he'll now be slated to stay in San Fransisco for at least the next three seasons. The 30-year-old has been a standout on special teams, earning All-Pro honors in 2020, and should continue in that role in 2024.

Activated from IR
The 49ers activated Odum (biceps) from injured reserve Saturday and he's set to play in the team's NFC divisional-round game against the Packers, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Odum was a full participant in Wednesday's and Thursday's practice sessions. He is set to potentially take the field for the first time since Week 12 against the Seahawks, when he sustained a torn biceps injury. Odum figures to slot back into his reserve free safety role behind starter Tashaun Gipson.

Set to be activated Friday
Odum (biceps) is expected to be activated from injured reserve Friday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Odum was designated to return from IR on Jan. 10 and he has logged full practices each of the last two days, setting him up to return for Saturday's matchup with the Packers in the divisional round. The 30-year-old will likely be back in his role as the primary reserve option behind Tashaun Gipson at free safety versus Green Bay.

Practice window officially opens
The 49ers designated Odum (biceps) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Odum landed on IR at the end of November after tearing his biceps Week 12 against Seattle. With San Francisco holding the NFC's No. 1 seed and thus a bye this week, the veteran safety will work to return in time for next weekend's divisional round. Odum spent most of his time on special teams prior to getting hurt and would presumably return to the same role if he's able to make it back on the field for the playoffs, though his work on defense could grow if Ji'Ayir Brown (knee) and/or Tashaun…read more

Set to return from IR
Odum (biceps) is expected to be designated to return from injured reserve by the 49ers this week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Odum has been out since suffering a torn biceps in late November, but he will now have a 21-day window to return to practice and ultimately be added to the team's active roster. If the safety isn't able to be activated, he'll remain on the team's IR through the postseason.

Goes to IR
The 49ers placed Odum (biceps) on their injured reserve list Monday.
Analysis: As expected, Odum will have to miss at least San Francisco's next four games and probably more as he recovers from a torn biceps he sustained Thursday at Seattle. In a corresponding move, rookie fifth-round defensive lineman Robert Beal was activated from the injured reserve list.

Out 2-4 months with torn biceps
Odum suffered a torn biceps in Thursday's 31-13 win over the Seahawks and is expected to face a recovery timeline of two-to-four months, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The extent of Odum's injury was confirmed by an MRI on Friday after he exited Thursday's win. Odum has an outside chance to return during the postseason, but the standout special teams contributor is expected to miss at least the remainder of the regular season.

Ruled out during game
Odum (biceps) will not return to Thursday's contest against the Seahawks.

Practices Thursday
Odum (quadricep) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Questionable to return
Odum is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns due to a thigh injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Odum didn't record any counting stats before suffering the injury. He's played primarily on special teams to start the season, so his absence shouldn't have an impact on San Francisco's secondary.

Joins 49ers on three-year deal
Odum agreed to a three-year, $10.95 million contract with the 49ers on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Odum took on an expanded role in the Colts' secondary due to injuries last season, and he set a career high with 55 tackles (45 solo) to go along with one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. San Francisco's 2021 starting safety Jaquiski Tartt is now a free agent, leaving Odum poised to handle a starting role.

Maintaining expanded role
Odum will serve as the Colts' starting free safety in the absence of Andrew Sendejo (concussion) Sunday against the Raiders, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
Analysis: Odum played on 100 percent of defensive snaps in Week 16, Sendejo's initial absence. He racked up a season-high nine tackles and a pass defended, and he should be in for a big role again in a Week 17 matchup against the Raiders.

Grabs interception in win
Odum started at strong safety and had six total tackles, a pass defensed and an interception in Sunday's win at Buffalo.
Analysis: Odum has performed well since moving into a starting role with Khari Willis on injured reserve with a calf injury. It's not clear when Willis may be able to return, so Odum looks likely to start this week against Tampa Bay.

Limited to special teams
Odum didn't have a tackle and played all 18 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Odum looked set for a larger role in the secondary but didn't play on defense Sunday. He may have a harder time finding a role on defense with the Colts signing Andrew Sendejo on Tuesday.

Off injury report
Odum (concussion) isn't listed on the Colts' injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Odum left the Colts' preseason finale early with a concussion but appears on track to play in the season opener Sunday against Seattle. The safety is slated for a bigger role with Indianapolis' secondary if he can stay healthy.

Exits with concussion
Odum left Friday's preseason win at Detroit due to a concussion, ESPN 107.5 FM Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Odum may have a larger role as a depth player in the secondary this season. He'll hopefully have enough time to recover before a Week 1 matchup against Seattle.

Signs tender with Colts
Odum signed his franchise tender with Indianapolis on Monday.
Analysis: Odum will stick with the Colts for a fourth consecutive season. The depth safety has been reliable in his role for Indianapolis -- he has yet to miss a regular-season game -- but in 2020 he was limited to special teams aside from 25 defensive snaps.

Another 37-tackle campaign
Odum recorded 37 tackles and two forced fumbles over 16 games in 2019.
Analysis: Odum worked in a reserve role and averaged 18 defensive snaps per game, but he also logged a healthy dose of action on special teams. The 26-year-old safety has a chance to earn a starting role in 2020 if Clayton Geathers walks in free agency, but the Colts could bring in additional competition through the draft or free agency.
