Dre Greenlaw Fantasy Stats

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw has been suspended without pay for one game for an act of unsportsmanlike conduct during Sunday's Week 5 win over the division-rival Seattle Seahawks, according to Tom Pelissero of The Ringer. Greenlaw could appeal the suspension, which could allow him to play next Monday night to close out Week 6 action at home against the Washington Commanders. The 29-year-old made a poor decision to headbutt Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones, who was not wearing a helmet, on the sidelines in Sunday's 32-29 win. Greenlaw was also suspended last year while with the Denver Broncos for unsportsmanlike conduct, so he will most likely lose his appeal. The former fifth-rounder by the Niners in 2019 from Arkansas has looked good so far in his return to the Bay Area, recording 37 tackles (18 solo) and a forced fumble in his five games played. If he is suspended for Week 6, Greenlaw's next chance to return will come on Oct. 25 against the Atlanta Falcons.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw was ejected during Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Greenlaw was tossed from the game after a late hit on quarterback Sam Darnold, and then he head-butted Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones, per Ari Meirov. These actions immediately resulted in an ejection, and Greenlaw will likely face a fine or possibly a suspension as well. He finished this game with three total tackles. His absence will certainly hurt the 49ers defense in the second half of this game. Fantasy managers will have to check back to see if Greenlaw gets suspended for his actions.

The San Francisco 49ers are agreeing to terms with free-agent linebacker Dre Greenlaw on a one-year, $7.5 million deal on Thursday, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Greenlaw was drafted by the 49ers in the fifth round (148th overall) in 2019 out of Arkansas, and he spent the first six years of his NFL career in the Bay Area before joining the Denver Broncos last season. The 28-year-old linebacker will now return to the mix in San Francisco after recording 43 tackles (15 solo), one sack, an interception, and a forced fumble in eight regular-season games for the Broncos in 2025. Greenlaw battled hamstring and quadriceps injuries in Denver, and he just has not been the same player since suffering multiple lower-body injuries over the last two years. He played in just two games for the Niners in 2024. Before getting hurt in 2024, Greenlaw had two straight 100-plus tackle seasons in San Fran. In his return to the team, Greenlaw will likely be more of a rotational linebacker to give what was a banged-up defense last year some more depth.

The NFL has suspended Denver Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw for one game without pay due to unsportsmanlike conduct following his team's Week 7 win over the New York Giants, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Rapoport reports that Greenlaw "chased after referee Brad Allen and verbally threatened him as (Allen) tried to leave the field." Week 7 was Greenlaw's first game of the season after he missed the first six weeks due to a thigh injury. Greenlaw recorded one solo tackle and one QB hit in Week 7 against New York. Assuming the suspension is upheld, Greenlaw will likely miss his team's Week 8 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Justin Strnad and Alex Singleton will likely serve as Denver's primary off-ball linebackers against Dallas.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Broncos activated linebacker Dre Greenlaw (quadriceps) off the Injured Reserve list. As a result, the 28-year-old is expected to suit up for Sunday's contest versus the New York Giants, although he's currently still listed as questionable. He spent his entire career in San Francisco, where he totaled 455 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 64 regular-season appearances. Greenlaw inked a three-year, $35 million deal with the Broncos in March. Unfortunately, he hasn't played yet this season because of a quadriceps injury. With that said, even on a snap count, his presence will go a long way toward enhancing an already formidable Broncos offense, and it's certainly not good news for Jaxson Dart, Cam Skattebo, and the rest of the Giants offense.

Denver Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw (quadriceps) is expected to miss "a little bit of time" during offseason drills after straining a quadriceps muscle while working out, a source told The Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson. Greenlaw has no surgery planned and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp at the end of July, without question. After playing his first six seasons in the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers, Greenlaw joined the Broncos this offseason. He tore his Achilles in the Super Bowl in 2024 and didn't return until this past September before missing the final two games with a calf injury. The 27-year-old former fifth-rounder (148th overall) in 2019 out of Arkansas. He had two straight 100-plus-tackle seasons in 2022 and 2023, and if he can bounce back to that form after his injuries, the Broncos already strong defense will have a steal on their hands.

The Denver Broncos are expected to sign San Francisco 49ers standout linebacker Dre Greenlaw to a three-year deal worth $35 million, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Greenlaw will essentially help make up for the loss of linebacker Cody Barton, who signed a three-year deal to join the Tennessee Titans. The 27-year-old Greenlaw had 100-plus combined tackles for the Niners in 2022 and 2023 before tearing his Achilles in the Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in February of last year. He ended up playing in only two games for the Niners in 2024 as a result and had nine tackles (three solo). The former fifth-round selection (148th overall) in the 2019 NFL draft out of Arkansas only has 3.5 sacks in his six NFL seasons, but if he can return to his pre-injury form in Denver, an already strong Broncos defense will get even more formidable in 2025 and beyond.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) is done for the remainder of the 2024 season, according to Cam Inman of The Athletic. Greenlaw had come back from a devastating Achilles injury recently, but with the 49ers eliminated from playoff contention, the team has decided to keep him off the field and avoid potential re-injury. The veteran linebacker will now get a few extra weeks to rest and recover before preparing for a full return in 2025. The 27-year-old finishes this season having registered nine tackles through parts of two games, including just four snaps last week against Miami.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles, knee) and defensive end Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) are both active for Sunday's match against the Miami Dolphins. Both defenders were limited throughout the week but are able to suit up. Greenlaw made his season debut last Thursday and was very involved with eight tackles. Bosa returned from his three-game absence on Thursday evening and tallied four tackles. Fantasy managers should expect both defenders to see their typical workload this afternoon.

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.
