The San Francisco 49ers announced Tuesday that they’ve waived Will Redmond from injured reserve with a settlement.
Redmond, 23, was taken in the third round of this year’s NFL draft. He signed a four-year, $3.54 million contract with the 49ers and stands to make a base salary of $590,880 for the 2017 season.

During his college career at Mississippi State, Redmond recorded 94 tackles, 5.
