Green missed last Sunday's loss to the Jaguars but will draw back into the lineup against Los Angeles. Green started each of the Niners' first three games and has logged 13 tackles (eight solo) and three pass breakups as an every-down cornerback.

49ers' Renardo Green: Limited to open week
Rotowire
Green (neck) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.
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: Won't suit up versus Jacksonville
Rotowire
Green (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
Green sustained a neck injury during the 49ers' Week 3 win over Arizona. He turned in two limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday. In his absence, either Darrell Luter or Eli Apple should draw their first start of the season Sunday. Green's next chance to play will be versus the Rams on Thursday, Oct. 2.

49ers' Renardo Green: Absent from practice
Rotowire
Green (neck) is questionable to play Sunday against the Jaguars.
Green was a limited participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he was non-participant at the team's final session of the week Friday. If the cornerback is unable to play Sunday, Darrell Luter would be a top candidate to draw the start in Green's place versus Jacksonville.

49ers' Renardo Green: Dealing with neck issue
Rotowire
Green is managing a neck injury and is considered day-to-day, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Green presumably picked up the issue during Sunday's Week 3 win over Arizona, during which he logged 57 of San Francisco's 66 defensive snaps and finished with four tackles. The cornerback's practice participation level this week should provide more insight about his likelihood of suiting up Sunday versus Jacksonville. If Green can't play in that game, Darrell Luter could be in line for a larger role.

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: Shines in Week 16
Rotowire
Green finished with 10 tackles (seven solo) and one pass defended in Sunday's 29-17 loss to the Dolphins.
Green turned in his finest single-game performance as a pro despite his team taking the loss Sunday. The second-round rookie logged double-digit tackles for the first time in his career in addition to cleanly defending a potential short touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill late in the third quarter. Green is coming into his own as the 49ers prepare to play out the string against the Lions next Monday.

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.

49ers' Renardo Green: Dealing with toe injury
Rotowire
Green is considered day-to-day due to a toe injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Green played through an ankle injury during the 49ers' Week 8 win over the Cowboys, and he appeared past the issue following the Week 9 bye. However, it appears he picked up a toe injury during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers, which could limit his practice participation heading into the 49ers' Week 11 game against the Seahawks.

49ers' Renardo Green: Day-to-day with ankle issue
Rotowire
Green is considered day-to-day after spraining an ankle in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Cowboys, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
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. However, Wagoner's report Monday suggests that Green avoided a serious injury. San Francisco has a Week 9 bye, giving Green until Nov. 10 to recover before the 49ers' next game against the Buccaneers.

49ers' Renardo Green: Suffers ankle injury
Rotowire
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.
