The Packers released Moore from injured reserve with a settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Moore was placed on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury during the team's first preseason game but is now free to sign elsewhere once he's healthy. The 27-year-old appeared in 13 games for San Francisco during the 2022 campaign, logging eight tackles (seven solo) while playing primarily on special teams.

Packers' Tarvarius Moore: Off NFI
Rotowire
Moore (undisclosed) was seen practicing during Packers camp Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Moore was placed on the active/NFI list on July 25 but has since had time to move past the issue. The 26-year-old spent his entire four-year career with San Francisco before signing with Green Bay this offseason, appearing in 61 games over that span. With the departure of Adrian Amos, expect the Southern Mississippi product to compete for a depth role in Green Bay's safety room ahead of the coming season.

49ers' Tarvarius Moore: Undergoes procedure
Rotowire
Moore announced Thursday that he underwent surgery to repair a torn Achilles, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

49ers' Tarvarius Moore: Closes season as starter
Rotowire
Moore finished with 52 tackles (37 solo) and a forced fumble across 16 games with the 49ers in 2020.
Moore began the campaign on special teams -- as he had for each of his first three seasons with San Francisco -- but he took over for an injured Jaquiski Tartt around the midway point of the season. The 23-year-old lacks the coverage skills that the veteran ahead of him on the depth chart possesses, but he does bring top-end speed and a physical brand of play at the strong safety position. Moore will be entering the final year of his rookie deal in 2021, while Tartt will be an unrestricted free agent if the cap-starved 49ers can't re-sign him this offseason, so the former has a decent shot at beginning next season as the starter and providing solid tackle totals from the safety position.

49ers' Tarvarius Moore: Dealing with ankle injury
Rotowire
Moore (ankle) is considered day-to-day, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
There was no indication of the 24-year-old safety having suffered an injury during Saturday's win over Arizona, as Moore fielded all 82 defensive snaps for San Francisco. Moore also registered his sixth consecutive start with Jimmie Ward (concussion) unavailable for Week 16. Moving forward, the defensive back's practice involvement will require observation to get a gauge on his potential availability for a Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.

49ers' Tarvarius Moore: Best tackling effort of 2020
Rotowire
Moore made 11 tackles (seven solo) in Saturday's 20-12 win over the Cardinals.
Moore produced a season high in tackles in his seventh start of the year. He should start again in the season finale against Seattle regardless of Jimmie Ward's (concussion) status.

49ers' Tarvarius Moore: Picks up knee injury
Rotowire
Moore suffered a knee injury during Sunday's 41-33 loss to the Cowboys, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Moore exited early but was able to return and finish the game. However, this could affect his chances to play next week against the Cardinals. It's worth monitoring his practice capacity during the upcoming week because starting safety Jimmie Ward is in concussion protocol. Moore is the next man up if Ward can't go.

49ers' Tarvarius Moore: Slated to start Sunday
Rotowire
Moore is expected to start at safety Sunday against the Patriots with Jimmie Ward (quadriceps) ruled out, Kelana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
Moore has played almost exclusively on special teams this year, so his upcoming starting gig could be quite an adjustment. The third-year safety out of Southern Mississippi did start three games to begin the 2019 season and registered 14 tackles and a pass breakup.

49ers' Tarvarius Moore: Referenced as starting free safety
Rotowire
Head coach Kyle Shanahan stated that Moore is the 49ers' starting free safety following his strong performance Week 1 against the Buccaneers, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The topic was brought up when Shanahan was asked about Jimmie Ward's (thumb) status for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals. San Francisco's head coach had this to say regarding who is considered the starting free safety at the moment, "If Jimmie starts practicing better and shows he can play better (than Moore), you're always going to put the best players on the field, but I know it's going to be hard to do because Tarvarius is playing at a high level, and I think he's getting better." Moore wrapped up eight tackles (five solo) and a key fourth-down pass breakup in the team's victory last week. The second-year safety's performance was apparently enough to give him an edge over Ward regardless of the latter's health.

49ers' Tarvarius Moore: Still competing for starting spot
Rotowire
Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said Thursday that Moore still has a shot at being the starting free safety even with the return of Jimmie Ward (collarbone), Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Since moving to free safety back in May, Moore has apparently been impressing the 49ers coaching staff. Ward was thought of as a shoe-in to be the team's starting free safety despite the injury, but his time away has allowed for Moore's emergence. He'll spend the final weeks of the preseason in what appears to be a legitimate competition with Ward.

Moore exited Sunday's loss to the Rams with a shoulder injury, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Moore entered the contest questionable with a should issue, and it remains unclear whether he aggravated that injury or suffered something additional. The 22-year-old will now have the offseason to recover as he finishes his rookie campaign with 23 tackles (18 solo) and two passes defensed.

49ers' Tarvarius Moore: Questionable with knee injury
Rotowire
Moore is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Packers with a knee injury, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports reports.
Moore took a hard shot while performing kickoff coverage. The rookie has played almost exclusively on special teams so far this season, so if he's forced to miss the rest of the game, San Francisco will merely lose some depth in their secondary.

49ers' Tarvarius Moore: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
Moore (wrist) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury reports, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Moore suffered his wrist injury in Week 3's game against the Chiefs. His health provides depth for the 49ers since Richard Sherman (calf) will be out for a few weeks. Regardless, Moore, who was a third round pick in April's draft, will remain in a special teams role Sunday against the Chargers.
