Dre Greenlaw Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (thumb) had a minor procedure after last year to fix an injured thumb, and he's still working his way back, which is why he wasn't taking part in organized team activities this week. Once he's back to full health, Greenlaw expects to absorb everything new defensive coordinator Steve Wilks has to offer him. The former fifth-rounder in 2019 only has two career sacks to his name, but he's hoping to be used more as a blitzer in the new defensive scheme in 2023. In his four seasons in the Bay Area, the 26-year-old has recorded 326 tackles (217 solo), 13 tackles for loss, five QB hits, three interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 10 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries (one for a TD) in 47 games (39 starts).

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (back) was forced to exit early and didn't return for the Week 17 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. The fourth-year linebacker suffered a back injury and will undergo additional testing on Monday. His absence would be a massive loss for this defense heading into the final week of the season and the postseason. Azeez Al-Shaair would likely be more involved going forward, assuming Greenlaw misses more time.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw won't return to Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers after a helmet-to-helmet hit on quarterback Justin Herbert. The 25-year-old was having himself a night before his ejection, leading the team with seven total tackles. There should be an update on Greenlaw's availability for the Week 11 Monday Night Football clash with the Cardinals. However, fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if he's forced to sit that one out.
