Andre Dillard: Everything you need to know

The 49ers hosted Dillard (ankle) for a workout Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Dillard appears to have fully recovered from a procedure on his ankle that he underwent during the offseason. He appeared in 10 regular-season games for the Packers in 2024 and made his last start in 2023 as a member of the Titans.

San Francisco released Dillard (ankle) with an injury settlement Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Dillard had surgery during the offseason to address an ankle issue, but his recovery wasn't going particularly smoothly, so he was placed on the 49ers' injured reserve list late in training camp. Now, thanks to the negotiated injury settlement, he won't have to spend the entire 2025 season there and will be free to sign with another team once healthy.

Dillard (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Thursday. According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, Dillard had offseason ankle surgery and began training camp on the active/PUP list before being activated Monday, but his ankle hasn't responded well to the last few days of practice. The 2019 first-round pick has appeared in 69 regular-season games over his six year career, spending last year in Green Bay. He signed a one-year, $1.17 million contract with San Francisco in May and was expected to be the team's swing tackle behind Trent Williams and Colton McKivitz.
