23 Will Redmond CB

Redmond (knee) will not be activated from injured reserve as his 21-day window expired on Tuesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Redmond was elected to return from IR as he was working his way back from a torn ACL he suffered in 2015. However, the team decided to not activate the cornerback to the 53-man roster, meaning he will remain on the IR for the remainder of the season. The rookie will shift his focus to returning to the field completely healthy next year as Jimmie Ward and Tramaine Brock will continue to to start at cornerback this season.

Redmond (knee) has been selected to return from the IR but has not yet officially been activated, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Redmond was placed on the IR before the beginning of the regular season as he was still recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in 2015. Now healthy, the rookie will have a 21-day window to begin practicing with the team but cannot play in a game until Week 9. The 49ers have dealt with several secondary injuries this season, so having Redmond back on the depth chart will hopefully shore up some of those holes. Look for more updates on his official activation to come sometime in the next two weeks.

Redmond (knee) was placed on IR on Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Redmond appeared in one preseason game, recording five tackles last Thursday against the Chargers. The 49ers were able to re-sign running back DuJuan Harris with Redmond's IR designation. Redmond tore his ACL in 2015 before being drafted in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft, so he'll now have additional time to get back to full health.

Redmond (knee) record five tackles (all solo) in Thursday's preseason win over San Diego.

Redmond looked good in his debut, and more importantly, did not suffer a setback Thursday. He is competing for a backup role on the 49ers' 53-man roster and he appears to be safe from the impending roster cuts Saturday due to his high draft slot (third round).
