Dre Greenlaw Questionable To Face Miami In Week 16
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles, knee) is questionable to play against the Miami Dolphins in Week 16. The veteran defender made his season debut last week against the Los Angeles Rams, registering eight tackles on a 30 percent snap share. However, in the aftermath of last week's contest, the 27-year-old has experienced some soreness, putting his availability in question for this Sunday. If Greenlaw can't suit up, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles would earn additional defensive snaps.
49ers To Activate Dre Greenlaw For Thursday Night Game
The San Francisco 49ers plan to activate standout linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) from the Physically Unable to Perform list ahead of the team's Thursday night game against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to sources. Greenlaw tore his Achilles in the Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and has been working his way back. Although the 27-year-old will be active for the first time in Week 15, the 49ers also plan to ease him back, so he won't be immediately viable in fantasy IDP leagues. Still, the return of Greenlaw is big news for San Fran's defense, which could be without All-Pro pass-rusher Nick Bosa (oblique) for a fourth straight game. Once Greenlaw is ready to return to his starting role, he should settle back in as an every-down linebacker next to Fred Warner, but it remains to be seen if that will happen in the final four games of the regular season.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) was listed as a limited participant during Monday's estimated practice. Greenlaw appears to be on the verge of getting back on the field. He has been sidelined since suffering a torn Achilles during the Super Bowl. The 49ers have been cautious with their stud linebacker, but there is a chance he does return for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. If that happens, Greenlaw would likely be limited with a snap count considering it'd be his first game of the season. His return to the field would give this defensive unit a boost ahead of this tough matchup.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) could have his 21-day practice window opened this week. Greenlaw has been on the injured reserve all season after suffering a torn Achilles during the Super Bowl. It sounds like Greenlaw is close to making it back on the field. The expectation is that Greenlaw will need to practice for a few weeks before getting back into game action. This defensive unit could certainly use Greenlaw's help, but the team isn't going to rush him back to the field. Greenlaw getting back to practice this week would be a huge step forward in his recovery process.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) isn't expected to get back on the practice field this week. Head coach Kyle Shanahan doesn't expect to open Greenlaw's 21-day practice window yet. Greenlaw is working his way back from a torn left Achilles he suffered during the Super Bowl in February. That injury caused him to be placed on the physically unable to perform list to begin the season. The 49ers believe Greenlaw can contribute this season, but aren't going to rush him back to the field. Once he returns, Greenlaw should give this defensive unit a nice boost.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) is hopeful to get back on the field around mid-season, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Greenlaw is still recovering from a torn Achilles that he suffered during the Super Bowl in February. The organization hasn't given a solid timetable on his return and said he's still a ways away. His return will be an immediate boost to this defensive unit, but until then De'Vondre Campbell figures to continue starting in his place.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) said he recently ditched the walking boot he'd been wearing since suffering a torn Achilles in the Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in early February. It's a big step for Greenlaw, but he still has a lot of boxes to check off if he wants to be ready for the Week 1 regular season opener this fall. The 26-year-old is a remarkable athlete, but expecting him to be full-go for the start of the 2024 season seems like a long shot given the severity of his injury. When healthy, the former fifth-round pick in 2019 out of Arkansas is a staple in IDP fantasy formats at the linebacker position. Greenlaw has had 100-plus combined tackles in each of the last two seasons. In 15 regular-season games for the Niners last year, he totaled 120 tackles (75 solo), a career-high 1.5 sacks, five tackles for loss and four passes defended.
San Francisco 49ers star linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) had successful surgery on Thursday to fix a torn left Achilles tendon, according to a source. Greenlaw suffered a full tear while running from the sideline onto the field during Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday versus the Kansas City Chiefs in the second quarter. He will make a full recovery, but there's a good chance he might not be ready to go for the start of the 2024 regular season this fall. The 26-year-old's injury was a crushing blow for the Niners in their 25-22 overtime loss to KC. Greenlaw was phenomenal during the regular season, recording 120 tackles on 811 defensive snaps played. When he's healthy enough to return later this year, he'll return to his key role as a starter for San Fran's D.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) officially tore his Achilles in Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday in the overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Greenlaw suffered the devastating injury while simply running onto the field in the second quarter. It was a big loss for the 49ers defense the rest of the way in the 25-22 loss, as the 26-year-old was excellent all year, amassing 120 tackles (75 solo), a career-high 1.5 sacks, five tackles for loss, four QB hits and four passes defensed in 15 regular season starts in his fifth year with the team. Greenlaw will now face a long and grueling rehab this offseason and probably isn't going to be ready for training camp this summer. Before going down with the fluke injury in the Super Bowl, he had just three assisted tackles in the first half.
The San Francisco 49ers believe that linebacker Dre Greenlaw tore his Achilles during Sunday's Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The unconventional injury occurred while Greenlaw was jogging onto the field. He was taken to the medical tent before being carted to the locker room, where he was eventually ruled out. At the time of his departure, he had registered three tackles. Oren Burks and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles should handle more snaps for the rest of the game. It's too early to tell whether the injury will force Greenlaw to miss part of the 2024 regular season.
