49ers' Renardo Green: Posts eight stops vs. Houston
Rotowire
Green registered eight tackles (four solo) during the 49ers' 26-15 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Green was given the green light to play Week 8 after sustaining a toe injury in Week 7 against the Falcons. The issue didn't appear to bother the second-year corner, as he played every single defensive snap while finishing fifth on the 49ers in tackles. Green's eight tackles were his most of the regular season, and the 2024 second-rounder is up to 28 stops (16 solo) and five pass defenses through seven regular-season games.

Rotowire
Green (toe) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Green picked up a toe injury during the 49ers' Week 7 win over the Falcons on Sunday, which limited his participation in Wednesday's practice. His ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that the injury isn't a long-term concern, and the 2024 second-rounder is on track to play against the Texans on Sunday. Green has logged 20 tackles (12 solo) and five pass defenses in six regular-season games.

49ers' Renardo Green: Starts week with limited practice
Rotowire
Green (toe) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Green is being considered day-to-day as he deals with a toe issue he picked up in Week 7 versus the Falcons, and his activity Wednesday is an overall promising sign for Week 8. Still though, unless he can manage a full practice Thursday or Friday, he's in danger of carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

49ers' Renardo Green: Day-to-day with toe injury
Rotowire
Head coach Kyle Shanahan relayed Monday that Green (toe) will be considered day-to-day heading into the 49ers' Week 8 clash against the Texans on Sunday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Green sustained a toe injury during the 49ers' 20-10 win over the Falcons in Week 7, and he finished that contest with two tackles (one solo). The injury isn't severe enough to rule Green out for Week 8, but his practice participation will shed light on his chances of playing. Darrell Luter saw an uptick in playing time at outside corner following Green's exit Sunday, and the former would be in line to start in Week 8 if the latter is not cleared to play.

Green was inactive for the 49ers' 26-21 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday due to a neck injury that he suffered in Week 3 against the Cardinals. With the Niners on a short week, Green will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Thursday's game against the Rams.

49ers' Renardo Green: Past groin issue
Rotowire
Green (groin) participated in Thursday's organized team activities, Grant Cohn of Spots Illustrated reports.
Green exited the 49ers' 2024 season finale early due to a groin issue, but his participation in Thursday's OTAs suggests he's now past the injury. The 2024 second-round pick from Florida State appeared in all 17 of San Francisco's regular-season games last season, recording 61 total tackles and 13 passes defended, including one interception. Now healthy again, Green is expected to serve as one of the 49ers' top outside cornerbacks in 2025.

49ers' Renardo Green: Exits early from season finale
Rotowire
Green has been deemed questionable to return to Sunday's Week 18 matchup against Arizona due to a groin injury, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
The 49ers deemed Green questionable to re-enter Sunday's matchup midway through the third quarter. His exit thins an already depleted San Francisco secondary that entered Sunday without cornerback Deommodore Lenoir (shoulder), then lost safeties Talanoa Hufanga (concussion) and Malik Mustapha (knee) during the matchup. Isaac Yiadom, Rock Ya-Sin and Nick McCloud are candidates to step in for defensive snaps while Green is sidelined.

49ers' Renardo Green: Sticks in starting role Sunday
Rotowire
Green recorded six tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 35-10 loss at Buffalo.
Even with Charvarius Ward returning from an extended absence, Green was on the field for all 56 of the 49ers' defensive snaps in Week 13. He appears to have earned the starting role opposite Ward at the expense of Isaac Yiadom moving forward.

49ers' Renardo Green: Considered questionable for Week 13
Rotowire
Green (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Buffalo, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Green hurt his neck in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Packers and didn't return. He logged a trio of limited practices this week, so he seems to be a 50/50 proposition to play against the Bills. Green's presence would be very helpful for San Francisco, as Deommodore Lenoir has been ruled out due to a knee injury.

The 2024 second-round pick out of Florida State played 44 total snaps (43 defensive and one on special teams) and recorded three total tackles along with one forced fumble before exiting Sunday's win.

49ers' Renardo Green: Suffers ankle injury

Green (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in Sunday night's 30-24 win over the Cowboys, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Green finished his night with three total tackles (two solo) and a forced fumble, picking up the injury at some point along the way. The cornerback stripped Dallas tight end Jake Ferguson in the second quarter, but Ferguson was able to get back on top of it. With the 49ers idle in Week 9, Green will look to get healthy in the extra time off before San Francisco returns to the field Nov. 10 versus the Buccaneers.

49ers' Renardo Green: Nabs first NFL interception
Rotowire
Green registered six tackles (four solo) along with an interception versus the Seahawks in Week 6 on Thursday in a 36-24 victory.
Green was given his biggest NFL opportunity so far due to the absence of Charvarius Ward (knee). Green ended up logging 90 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps -- by far his highest count this season -- and made a key interception of Geno Smith midway through the fourth quarter. Green will likely move back to working primarily on special teams when Ward is able to return to action.

49ers' Renardo Green: San Francisco adds in second round
Rotowire
The 49ers selected Green in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 64th overall.
Green was an elite college cornerback at Florida State and should be able to emerge as at least an average starter in the NFL as well. The challenge with his evaluation lies in the concern that there might be a disconnect between his skill set and tool set -- more specifically, Green dominated as a press corner in college but lacks the conventional traits to project as a press corner in the NFL due to a light build (6-feet, 186 pounds) and relatively short (31 and 1/4 inches) arms. If Green's build doesn't hold back his NFL press-coverage abilities then his game should translate well, and the 49ers would get a cornerback upgrade out of the pick.
