49ers' Adrian Colbert: Not candidate to return
Rotowire
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Colbert (ankle) will miss the rest of the regular season after being placed on injured reserve, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Colbert would technically be eligible to return from IR in Week 16 if he makes a full recovery from his right high-ankle sprain, but Shanahan dismissed the possibility of the 49ers activating him. Instead, it appears the 49ers may be earmarking their two designated-to-return spots for safety Marcell Harris (hamstring) and linebacker Dekoda Watson (hamstring), both of whom are further along in their respective recoveries from injury. With Colbert out of the mix, rookie D.J. Reed will earn the first look as the 49ers' starting free safety.

Rotowire
The 49ers placed Colbert (ankle) on injured reserve Monday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Upon further examination, it was determined that Colbert is nursing a right high-ankle sprain. Colbert's timetable for a return is estimated at about 6-to-8 weeks, which prompted San Francisco to put the safety on IR to open up a roster spot. According to the report, Colbert is an unlikely candidate to return this season. All signs point to D.J. Reed taking over as the 49ers' starting free safety with Colbert out of the mix.
