Greenlaw (Achilles) could have his 21-day practice window to return to injured reserve open this week, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. Greenlaw is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn left Achilles that he suffered against the Chiefs during Super Bowl LVIII in February. General manager John Lynch told reporters Monday that Greenlaw will need to practice for a few weeks before returning from IR, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. There's no guarantee that Greenlaw would be ready to play should he be activated from IR, but it's a good sign that the veteran linebacker is ready to take the next step in his rehab program.

Greenlaw (Achilles) could have his 21-day practice window to return to injured reserve open this week, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. Greenlaw is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn left Achilles that he suffered against the Chiefs during Super Bowl LVIII in February. General manager John Lynch told reporters Monday that Greenlaw will need to practice for a few weeks before returning from IR, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. There's no guarantee that Greenlaw would be ready to play should he be activated from IR, but it's a good sign that the veteran linebacker is ready to take the next step in his rehab program.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he "doesn't expect" to open the 21-day practice window for Greenlaw (Achilles) this week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Greenlaw is working his way back from a torn left Achilles that he suffered in San Francisco's Super Bowl loss to Kansas City in February, which caused him to open the season on the reserve/PUP list. He's made progress through the injury, but not enough to have his 21-day window to return from IR open this week.
Greenlaw (Achilles) is not expected to be ready for his season debut until a few weeks after the 49ers' bye, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Monday there's still going to be some time before Greenlaw is activated off injured reserve. The linebacker tore his left Achilles in last year's Super Bowl, which means he is roughly eight months removed from the injury. San Francisco will play the Buccaneers and Seahawks after its bye week, so Week 12 versus the Packers would likely be the soonest potential return date for him.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he's "hoping" Greenlaw (Achilles) can return around the middle of the season, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Greenlaw is still tending to the torn Achilles he suffered during the 49ers' loss in the Super Bowl back in February, and there's still no concrete timetable for his return. Shanahan also said Monday that Greenlaw is "still a ways away." He figures to instantly improve San Francisco's defense as soon as he's available again, a boost the team apparently desperately needs after a 1-2 start.
Greenlaw (Achilles) was placed on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday. Greenlaw is receovering from a popped Achilles' tendon that he sustained during the Super Bowl loss the Chiefs in February. The 27-year-old did not practice during training camp while on the active/PUP list, and he'll now be forced to miss the first four games of the regualr season as he continues recovering. Greenlaw's first chance to return will come against the Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 6. In the meantime, expect De'Vondre Campbell and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles to fill in alongside star middle linebacker Fred Warner (foot).
The 49ers placed Greenlaw (Achilles) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. Greenlaw popped his Achilles' tendon in the Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs back in February. He's stated he hopes to be ready for Week 1 of this season, but Greenlaw likely still has several hurdles to clear in his recovery. It wouldn't be a complete shock to see him open 2024 on reserve/PUP, which would cost Greenlaw the at least the first four games of the new campaign.
Greenlaw (Achilles) no longer requires a walking boot, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Greenlaw made a public appearance at an event in San Jose and discussed his recovery from Achilles surgery. He has previously said he hopes to be ready for Week 1, and his ability to walk without a boot is a small step in that direction. Greenlaw's level of participation at the start of training camp will be more telling regarding his availability come the regular season.
Greenlaw (Achilles) is shooting to be ready for the start of the season, according to GM John Lynch, but he may need to start the season on the PUP list, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Greenlaw had surgery days after the Super Bowl to repair a torn left Achilles tendon he suffered during the game. How likely it is the Arkansas product will be ready Week 1 likely won't be known until the team arrives for training camp in late July.
He still managed to play 95 percent of the defensive snaps Sunday and registered eight tackles (six solo) for the game. The 49ers are on bye next week, which should give Greenlaw plenty of time to rest up and be fully healthy for their Week 10 contest against the Jaguars.
