Bellore was signed by the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent out of Central Michigan in 2011. He spent four seasons with the Jets where he appeared in all 64 games – primarily on special teams. Bellore led the Jets in special teams tackles in each of his first three seasons with the team.
In April of 2015, Bellore signed a two-year contract with the 49ers in the wake of the retirements of linebackers Patrick Willis and Chris Borland. Last season, he appeared in 14 games and started a career-high 10 games. During that time, he had 83 tackles, five passes defended, a sack, an interception, and a fumble recovery.
On December 19, Bellore was placed on injured reserve after suffering an elbow injury the day before against the Atlanta Falcons.
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, quarterback Brock Purdy, and defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen spoke to reporters ahead of Tuesday's practice as the team prepares for its Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Here's everything they said.
