Renardo Green Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Panthers vs 49ers game on Monday with our National Football League injury report.Oct 30, 2025
Posts eight stops vs. Houston
Green registered eight tackles (four solo) during the 49ers' 26-15 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
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.

Logs full practice Thursday
Green (toe) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green picked up a toe injury during the 49ers' Week 7 loss to 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.

Starts week with limited practice
Green (toe) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
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'll be in danger of carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Day-to-day with toe injury
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 19, 2025
Downgraded to out
Green (toe) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's game against the Falcons, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback suffered the injury during the first half. Green made two tackles (one solo) before exiting. Darrell Luter should be the next man up at outside corner.
Oct 19, 2025
Dealing with toe injury
Green (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against Atlanta, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green suffered an apparent toe injury in the first half of the contest, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. In his absence, Darrell Luter is a top candidate to see an uptick in usage at cornerback versus the Falcons.
Oct 19, 2025
Active Sunday night
Green (neck) is active for Sunday night's matchup with the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback entered the day with a questionable tag even though he played through the injury the last two weeks. Green has played on at least 86 percent of the defensive snaps in all five games he's suited up for this season. The 2024 second-round pick has 18 tackles (11 solo) and five pass breakups on the year.
Oct 17, 2025
Questionable for Sunday
Green (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Falcons, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been able to play through his neck issue during San Francisco's past two games, so it may be that he's on the 'probable' end of the official questionable designation. If for some reason he can't play in Week 7 though, 2023 fifth-rounder Darrell Luter could be in line for extra work on the boundary.
Oct 15, 2025
Still dealing with neck issue
Green (neck) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been able to play through the neck injury for the past two weeks, so it's probably reasonable to assume San Francisco's coaches are just exercising extra caution with one of their top cornerbacks. He'll get two more opportunities to practice in full before the 49ers publish their last practice report of the week Friday.
Oct 1, 2025
Good to go for Thursday night
Green (neck) doesn't carry an injury designation into Thursday night's game against the Rams, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 29, 2025
Limited to open week
Green (neck) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.
ANALYSIS
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 operating on short rest, Green will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Thursday's game against the Rams.
Sep 28, 2025
Won't suit up versus Jacksonville
Green (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 26, 2025
Absent from practice
Green (neck) is questionable to play Sunday against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 24, 2025
Turns in limited session
Green (neck) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green suffered the injury in the 49ers' Week 3 win over Arizona. He is considered day-to-day, and the fact that he started the week practicing in some capacity is a good sign for his availability come Sunday.
Sep 22, 2025
Dealing with neck issue
Green is managing a neck injury and is considered day-to-day, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Aug 19, 2025
Back practicing
Green (hamstring) participated during Tuesday's training camp practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green suffered a hamstring injury earlier in training camp that kept him sidelined for a few weeks, but he now appears to be back to full strength as the regular season approaches. Unless he suffers some sort of setback, he projects to start at one of the 49ers corner spots come Week 1 at Seattle.
Jul 27, 2025
Will be out several weeks
Green (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined for the next several weeks, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green suffered a hamstring injury during Friday's training camp session, and the team expects him to return to practice the week of Aug. 11. Once healthy, the 24-year-old is expected to serve as one of the San Francisco's starting cornerbacks during the upcoming season.
Jul 25, 2025
Suffers hamstring injury
Green left Friday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was in the midst of a strong practice before suffering the injury, and he'll undergo further tests to determine its severity. The 2024 second-rounder appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the 49ers in his rookie campaign and is expected to start at outside corner in 2025. An extended absence would give Darrell Luter (pelvis), Tre Brown, Tre Avery and Dallis Flowers additional opportunities for reps during practices and preseason games.
May 30, 2025
Past groin issue
Green (groin) participated in Thursday's organized team activities, Grant Cohn of Spots Illustrated reports.
ANALYSIS
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 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.
Jan 8, 2025
Gets seven starts in rookie season
Green (groin) finished the 2024 regular season with 61 tackles (41 solo), 13 pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble across 17 games.
ANALYSIS
The rookie second-round pick out of Florida State mainly contributed on special teams over the first five games of the regular season. Green earned a larger role on the first-team defense as the season progressed, playing. at least 40 defensive snaps in 11 of the last 12 games of the regular season. Thanks to the extra playing time, Green was able to break San Francisco's rookie record for pass defenses in a season, surpassing safety Eric Reid's 11 from 2013, per Ali Thanawalla of Yahoo Sports. Green will be an integral part of a young 49ers secondary for the 2025 campaign alongside Ji'Ayir Brown, Malik Mustapha and Deommodore Lenoir.
Jan 5, 2025
Exits early from season finale
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 23, 2024
Shines in Week 16
Green finished with 10 tackles (seven solo) and one pass defended in Sunday's 29-17 loss to the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 3, 2024
Sticks in starting role Sunday
Green recorded six tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 35-10 loss at Buffalo.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 1, 2024
Ready to go for Week 13
Green (neck) is active for Sunday night's contest against the Bills, Lindsey Pallares of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will be ready to go Sunday night after logging three straight limited practices this week due to a neck injury. The cornerback will operate in his traditional depth role in the 49ers' secondary versus Buffalo.
Nov 29, 2024
Considered questionable for Week 13
Green (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Buffalo, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 27, 2024
Limited to open week
Green (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green suffered a neck injury during the 49ers' 38-10 loss to the Packers this past Sunday, finishing with five tackles (four solo) and one pass defense across 43 defensive snaps. The rookie second-rounder will have two more chances this week to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday night's game against Buffalo.
Nov 24, 2024
Leaves game with neck injury
Green (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Green logged five tackles (four solo) before suffering a neck injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. While he's sidelined, Nick McCloud and Rock Ya-Sin will serve as the rotational outside corners across starter Isaac Yiadom.
Nov 18, 2024
Co-leads team in stops Sunday
Green tallied eight tackles (seven solo) and one defensed pass in Sunday's Week 11 loss to Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Green and Deommodore Lenoir tied for the team lead in tackles in the last-minute loss. Green's eight tackles set a season-high mark, and he also logged a season-high 95 percent of the 49ers' defensive snaps. He's played an increased role the past two weeks in the absence of Charvarius Ward (personal), but Ward returned to the team Monday and could return to action Sunday against Green Bay, per David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard.
Nov 13, 2024
Full practice participant Wednesday
Green (toe) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Green is considered day-to-day due to a toe injury he sustained in this past Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers. Wednesday's full practice doesn't mean the rookie second-round pick is 100 percent over the issue, but if he's able to practice in full over the next two days, then he'll have no concerns heading into Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Green has logged 20 tackles (12 solo), four pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble over nine regular-season games.
Nov 11, 2024
Dealing with toe injury
Green is considered day-to-day due to a toe injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 6, 2024
Past ankle issue
Green (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Green sprained his ankle during the 49ers' Week 8 win over the Cowboys. The rookie second-round pick was able to enjoy additional rest thanks to the Week 9 bye, and barring any setbacks, he should be good to go against Tampa Bay on Sunday. Green has logged 15 tackles (eight solo), two pass breakups, one interception and one forced fumble across eight regular-season games.
Oct 28, 2024
Day-to-day with ankle issue
Green is considered day-to-day after sustaining an ankle injury in Sunday night's win over the Cowboys, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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 night's win with an ankle injury. 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.
Oct 28, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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 right in the extra time off before San Francisco returns to the field Nov. 10 versus the Buccaneers.
Oct 12, 2024
Nabs first NFL interception
Green registered six tackles (four solo) along with an interception versus the Seahawks in Week 6 on Thursday in a 36-24 victory.
ANALYSIS
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.
