49ers release Chris Cook

Cornerback Chris Cook’s time with the 49ers has come to an end.

The 49ers announced Wednesday that they have released the veteran corner after one year with the team. Cook, who thanked the team for the chance on Instagram, signed with the 49ers as a free agent last year and re-signed with the team in March.

Cook only played six games with the team last season before a hamstring injury ended his season. He had six tackles and a pass defensed in limited snaps with the team in those contests.

Cook was with the Vikings from 2010-2013 and started 21 games over his final two years with the team.
