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.
