Broncos head coach Sean Payton said Saturday that Greenlaw (quadriceps) is "on schedule" and "will be a full participant in training camp," Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports. Greenlaw suffered a torn quadriceps while training in April, and while it sounds like the injury could limit the veteran linebacker during OTAs and/or mandatory minicamp, he remains fully on track for training camp. After signing a three-year, $35 million contract with Denver this offseason, Greenlaw is on track to handle a starting role at inside linebacker for the Broncos.

Dre Greenlaw Latest News
On track for training camp

Broncos head coach Sean Payton said Saturday that Greenlaw (quadriceps) is "on schedule" and "will be a full participant in training camp," Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports. Greenlaw suffered a torn quadriceps while training in April, and while it sounds like the injury could limit the veteran linebacker during OTAs and/or mandatory minicamp, he remains fully on track for training camp. After signing a three-year, $35 million contract with Denver this offseason, Greenlaw is on track to handle a starting role at inside linebacker for the Broncos.
Suffers quadriceps injury

Greenlaw recently suffered a quadriceps strain while training, which is expected to sideline him multiple weeks, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. Greenlaw signed with the Broncos in the offseason after spending the first six seasons of his career with the 49ers. The linebacker made his return to the field in Week 15 of the 2024 campaign after suffering a torn Achilles in Super Bowl LVIII versus the Chiefs in February of 2024. It's unclear if the quadriceps injury will cause him to miss Denver's OTAs beginning May 27.
Expected to sign with Denver

Greenlaw will sign with the Broncos when free agency officially opens Wednesday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports. The linebacker agreed to a three-year, $35 million contract, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Greenlaw played in just two games last year after tearing his Achilles during Super Bowl LVIII against the Chiefs, returning Week 15 of 2024 and injuring his calf Week 16, though he's healthy again now. The 2019 fifth-round pick is still only 27, and he recorded over 100 tackles in both 2022 and 2023 with the 49ers.
Placed on injured reserve Tuesday

The 49ers moved Greenlaw (calf) to IR on Tuesday. This move had been in the cards since head coach Kyle Shanahan said last week that Greenlaw wouldn't play again this year. The veteran linebacker returned Week 15 after tearing his Achilles in the Super Bowl last year, but he emerged from that game with soreness, then suited up Week 16 against Miami and hurt his calf. Greenlaw finishes the campaign with nine tackles (six solo) on 34 defensive snaps. He'll be a free agent in the offseason.
Officially done for 2024

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that Greenlaw (calf) will sit out the 49ers' final two games of the season, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports. Greenlaw spent most of the 2024 campaign on the reserve/PUP list while recovering from a torn left Achilles tendon that he suffered during the 49ers' Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Chiefs in February. He was activated for the 49ers' Week 15 game against the Rams, but he missed a portion of that game with leg tightness, then sustained a right calf injury in the first quarter of last week's loss to the Dolphins. With the 49ers eliminated from playoff contention, Greenlaw won't be rushed back to the field as the season winds down. The 27-year-old linebacker will enter the offseason as a free agent.
Likely done for season

Greenlaw (calf) will likely be shut down for the remainder of the 2024 regular season, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports. Greenlaw suffered a calf injury in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins and with San Francisco eliminated from postseason contention, there isn't much of a reason for the team to push the linebacker to play again this season. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that shutting down Greenlaw would be a possibility as the team waits for results on an MRI. Greenlaw made his return to the field in Week 15 versus the Rams after missing the entirety of the season to that point while recovering from the torn left Achilles tendon he suffered in the Super Bowl in February.
Out for rest of game

Greenlaw (calf) is out for the rest of Sunday's outing against the Dolphins, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Greenlaw suffered a calf injury in the first quarter of Sunday's road game but not before logging one assisted tackle. The starting linebacker's next chance to see the field will be next Monday's Week 17 contest versus Detroit. Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles or Jalen Graham will likely now have elevated playing time for the rest of the matchup.
Goes down with calf injury

Greenlaw (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday afternoon's outing against the 49ers, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Greenlaw went down with a right calf injury early in San Francisco's away game in Miami. As long as the starting linebacker is out of the game, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles or Jalen Graham will likely fill in.
Good to go against Dolphins

Greenlaw (Achilles/knee) is active for Sunday's game against Miami. Greenlaw made his 2024 regular-season debut in Week 15 against the Rams and finished with eight tackles (three solo) while playing 30 snaps on defense. He was limited in practice all week due to lingering soreness in his Achilles and knee, but he has been cleared to play in Sunday's contest and will start at linebacker alongside Fred Warner and Dee Winters.
