On Wednesday, the Niners waived Harris with an injury designation, betting that the cornerback would go unclaimed by another team. He didn't get claimed and has reverted back to San Francisco's injured reserve list, per Aaron Wilson.
Harris is entering his third season with the 49ers, the team that made him a sixth-round draft pick out of Virginia in 2019. He spent his rookie season on injured reserve, coincidentally, with a groin injury. Harris appeared in two games last season, playing in 18 snaps on special teams.
