The San Francisco 49ers have cut Jeremy Zuttah just five months after acquiring him in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens.

Zuttah was completing with Daniel Kilgore for the starting center position.

"That was a tough decision," Kyle Shanahan said. "That was something we were really looking at last night. I think it says a lot about how Kilgore has been playing. He's done a really good job in practice with that center spot."

Zuttah is coming off a Pro Bowl season with Baltimore.
