News

  • Will play Sunday

    Greenlaw (ankle) is active Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Greenlaw closed out the week with back-to-back limited practices, which was enough to get the Arkansas product on the field Sunday. He should hold down his usual role at weakside linebacker against Arizona.

    Published: Sun, Oct 1 at 12:15pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Considered questionable

    Greenlaw (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's clash with the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw progressed from non-participant to practicing in limited fashion as the week progressed, so he is seemingly trending in the right direction. Still, his final status is unlikely to be confirmed until Sunday morning. Dee Winters would be the prime candidate to replace him at weakside linebacker should he not ultimately get the green light.

  • Limited practice Thursday

    Greenlaw (ankle) was a limited participant at the 49ers' practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw missed the team's first practice of the week Wednesday, but his return to the field Thursday bodes well for his chances to play Sunday versus the Cardinals. The linebacker will have one more opportunity to increase his workload Friday ahead of Week 4.

  • Absent from practice Wednesday

    Greenlaw (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw was injured in the Week 3 win over the Giants six days ago. It was initially reported that Greenlaw was day-to-day with the injury, so perhaps the 49ers are just being cautious with their starting linebacker.

  • Day-to-day with ankle injury

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Greenlaw is "day to day" with an ankle injury he suffered in Thursday night's 30-12 win over the Giants, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw suffered the injury in the second half and logged just 84 percent of the defensive snaps after playing 97 percent and 99 percent in Weeks 1 and 2. On the season, he has 22 tackles, one TFL, one QB hit and one pass breakup. The 49ers get a sort of mini-bye ahead of a Week 4 contest versus Arizona nine days from now.

  • Five tackles in Week 3 win

    Greenlaw recorded five tackles (four solo) and a quarterback hit in Thursday's 30-12 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Greenlaw tied for the team lead in tackles on a relatively easy night for San Francisco's vaunted defense against a Giants team playing without star running back Saquon Barkley (ankle). With 22 tackles through three games, Greenlaw's on pace for similar production to last year's 127-tackle campaign.

  • Leads Niners in tackles Sunday

    Greenlaw recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 30-23 win at the Rams.

    Analysis: Greenlaw was able to notch a great tackle total despite Matthew Stafford throwing 55 pass attempts in Week 2. He achieved a career-high 127 tackles in 2022 and is well on pace to surpass that figure in 2023.

  • Will play at Rams

    Greenlaw (groin) was a full participant at practice Friday ahead of Sunday's game at the Rams.

    Analysis: After missing practice Wednesday, Greenlaw was able to manage a limited practice Thursday and then get back to full strength Friday ahead of San Francisco's game in Week 2. He'll resume his starting role at linebacker alongside Fred Warner and Oren Burks.

    Published: Fri, Sep 15 at 2:35pm by Rotowire.com

  • Back at practice

    Greenlaw (groin) was a limited participant at the 49ers' practice on Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw missed Wednesday's session with a sore groin, but his ability to practice Thursday is a good sign for his chances to play Sunday in Los Angeles. The linebacker will have one more practice Friday to prove his health prior to Week 2.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Greenlaw (groin) did not participate at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at the Rams, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw is reportedly sore following San Francisco's win at Pittsburgh in Week 1, but it's not clear if he's actually at risk of missing game action. In any case, the 49ers' Thursday and Friday injury reports should hopefully shed more light on the situation.

  • Busy in opener

    Greenlaw compiled six tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 30-7 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Greenlaw kept himself busy in Week 1, finishing third on the team with six takedowns. The linebacker is coming off of a career-high 127 tackles in 2022 and he's off to a strong start this season.

  • Back at practice

    Greenlaw (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old linebacker had been sidelined by a hamstring issue since Aug. 10, but it now appears he's set up to play Week 1 at Pittsburgh. After recording a career-high 127 tackles in 2022, he'll likely be busy right off the bat in 2023 against a Steelers ground attack helmed by Najee Harris.

  • Non-participant at practice

    Greenlaw (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Aside from some side work, Greenlaw has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since Aug. 10. The original expectation was that he would be back by now, but it looks like the 49ers are continuing to err on the side of caution. When healthy, the 26-year-old is slated to start at weak-side linebacker. Next week's injury report should provide much more clarity on Greenlaw's status heading into Week 1.

  • Still working on side

    Greenlaw (hamstring) is still working on the side at practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The original expectation was that Greenlaw would have returned to full contact at practice by now. There has been no word on any type of setback with his hamstring, so it is possible that the 49ers are just erring on the side of caution with their starting weak-side linebacker. The 26-year-old recorded 127 tackles (82 solo), one interception, six passes defended, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 15 games in 2022.

    Published: Mon, Aug 28 at 2:00pm by Rotowire.com

  • Expected to return to practice

    Greenlaw (hamstring) is expected to return to practice this week, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw has been out the past two weeks after pulling his hamstring in practice but now seems slated to return to action. The 2019 fifth-round pick will once again start at linebacker alongside Fred Warner and help lead one of the NFL's most ferocious defenses.

  • Injury bug bites again

    Greenlaw pulled his hamstring at practice Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: After rehabbing from finger surgery this offseason, Greenlaw suffered another that has a chance of keeping him sidelined for a stretch. This hamstring pull is something to look out for now and into the coming season, as soft-tissue injuries can linger. Once the 26-year-old returns to form, expect him to continue starting alongside Fred Warner on one of the best defenses in the NFL.

  • Back for camp

    Greenlaw (finger) was spotted participating at 49ers camp Wednesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw spent most of the offseason recovering from finger surgery but has since moved past the issue. The fifth-year linebacker had the best year of his career in 2022, tallying 127 tackles, six pass breakups and two forced fumbles. He'll return to his starting spot in one of the best linebacker corps in football alongside Fred Warner ahead of the coming season.

  • Rehabbing during OTAs

    Greenlaw (finger) was present Tuesday for OTAs, but he was rehabbing on a side field, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw continues to work his way back from minor offseason surgery on his finger. The 2019 fifth-round pick wasn't present for the beginning of OTAs, but he's since rejoined the team and is getting acquainted with new defensive coordinator Steve Wilks' scheme.

  • Recovering from finger surgery

    Greenlaw is not present at OTAs as he recovers from offseason surgery on his finger, David Bonilla of 49ers WebZone reports.

    Analysis: The procedure was described as "nothing major" and "a little cleanup," and there have been no reported setbacks in Greenlaw's recovery. Once he can return to the field, Greenlaw will need to adjust to new defensive coordinator Steve Wilks' scheme, and he hopes to be able to rush the quarterback more often.

  • Good to go for playoffs

    Greenlaw (back) doesn't carry a designation for Saturday's wild-card game against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Greenlaw was sidelined for the 49ers' regular-season finale against Arizona due to a back injury sustained Week 17. However, he was able to return to practice in full Thursday after logging back-to-back limited practices earlier in the week, and San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said the linebacker will be a "full go" for Saturday's wild-card game against Seattle, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle.

  • Practicing in limited fashion

    Greenlaw (back) logged limited practice sessions Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of San Francisco's wild-card game against Seattle on Saturday.

    Analysis: Greenlaw hurt his back against the Raiders in Week 17 and missed San Francisco's regular-season finale versus Arizona after logging three DNPs during the week. However, his ability to practice -- albeit in limited fashion -- both Tuesday and Wednesday suggests that he has a chance to participate in Saturday's wild-card contest versus the Seahawks. That would be a big boost to the 49ers' defense, as Greenlaw ranked second on the team with 127 tackles while adding an interception and two forced…read more

  • Expected to practice this week

    Greenlaw (back) is expected to return to practice before Saturday's wild-card round game against the Seahawks, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw was unable to practice in any capacity before sitting out the regular-season finale, but a return to practice could pave the way for the productive linebacker to suit up in San Francisco's playoff opener. Greenlaw had 127 tackles (82 solo) over 15 appearances in the regular season.

  • Out Week 18

    Greenlaw (back) has been ruled out of the 49ers' regular-season finale against the Cardinals, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: No surprise here, as Greenlaw was unable to practice during the week after injuring his back in Week 17. The 49ers will err on the side of caution ahead of wild-card weekend. In his absence, Oren Burks is the likely candidate to replace him at weakside linebacker.

  • Misses practice

    Greenlaw (back) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Greenlaw exited the 49ers' previous game against Las Vegas early after injuring his back. His non participation Tuesday is not a good start to the week, so his status will need to be monitored going forward. Oren Burks would be the prime candidate to replace him at weakside linebacker if he ultimately has to miss any time

  • May not miss time

    Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he is hopeful Greenlaw (back) does not miss any time, but that the team still needed to conduct further testing, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw was expected to undergo an MRI on Monday, after he suffered a back injury in Sunday's win over the Raiders. He is still considered questionable for Week 18 against the Cardinals.

  • Set for MRI on back

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Greenlaw will undergo an MRI on Monday on the back injury he suffered during Sunday's win at Las Vegas, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: At the point of his departure in the second half, Greenlaw had eight tackles, marking his fifth game in a row to reach that threshold. Monday's test may shed some light on his availability for the 49ers' regular-season finale against the Cardinals.

  • Exits versus Las Vegas

    Greenlaw is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders with a back injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw tallied eight tackles before he injured his back Sunday, leaving his availability for the second half up in the air. In his stead, expect Oren Burks and/or Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles to see increased usage for the time being.

  • Posts big outing

    Greenlaw compiled 15 tackles (10 solo), an interception and pass defensed in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Greenlaw's 15 stops ties a season high, while his interception was his first on the year and third of his career. The fourth-year pro is enjoying his best season yet, as his 103 tackles so far has already surpassed his previous high of 92 in his rookie season. He'll work to keep piling on the stops Thursday against the Seahawks.

  • Makes eight tackles in win

    Greenlaw notched eight tackles (seven solo), one pass defensed and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 33-17 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Greenlaw has logged at least seven total tackles in each of his last four appearances. With 88 total tackles (61 solo) through 11 contests, Greenlaw is well on track to tally a new career-best mark, though he's still looking for his first sack of the 2022 campaign.

    Greenlaw recorded nine tackles (eight solo), one sack and one forced fumble during Monday's 38-10 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: Greenlaw finished as San Francisco's second-leading tackler behind cornerback Charvarius Ward in a blowout win on Monday Night Football. After lining up on 66 defensive snaps while playing two of three possible games the past four weeks, the 25-year-old linebacker returned to his every-down role from early in the season, playing 82 percent of the 49ers' defensive snaps Week 11. Greenlaw now has 74 tackles over nine games played in 2022, and, barring injury, he should set a new career high in…read more

  • Seven stops before early exit

    Greenlaw recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Greenlaw logged seven stops before being ejected for a head-to-head hit on Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert near the end of the first half. Nevertheless, the fourth-year linebacker still tied Fred Warner for a team high in tackles despite only playing 60 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps. Greenlaw is not known to be dealing with a head injury following this collision, so he should reprise a productive role against Arizona on Monday Night Football in Week 11.

  • Ejected from Sunday's game

    Greenlaw was ejected from Sunday's game against the Chargers following a helmet-to-helmet hit, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw had a helmet-to-helmet hit against Justin Herbert shortly before halftime during Sunday's matchup and was tossed from the game after a discussion by the referees. Prior to Greenlaw's departure, he recorded seven tackles (six solo). It wouldn't be surprising to see the 2019 fifth-rounder return to action for next Monday's game against Arizona.

  • Cleared for Sunday

    Greenlaw (calf) is good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Chargers.

    Analysis: Greenlaw practiced in full Friday after being limited for consecutive days to start the week. Barring any setbacks, he will take on his usual role at weakside linebacker.

  • Limited at practice after bye week

    Greenlaw (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: Greenlaw suffered a calf injury in a loss to Kansas City in Week 7 and was unable to play Week 8 versus the Rams. San Francisco's Week 9 bye gave the linebacker an opportunity to rest, but he nonetheless was limited in the team's first practice session this week. Greenlaw's status to face the Chargers on Sunday Night Football is uncertain, but he appears to have a "good chance" of playing in the contest, per David Lombardi of The Athletic.

    Greenlaw (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw suffered a right leg injury during the team's Week 7 loss and was unable to practice during Week 8 prep, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out. His next chance to suit up will come after the 49ers' Week 9 bye against the Chargers on Nov. 13. In Greenlaw's absence, Oren Burks is a likely candidate for increased snaps.

    Greenlaw (calf) did not practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw exited Sunday's game after injuring his right leg. While he still has both Thursday and Friday to practice with the team, his game status is still unknown for Week 8 against the Rams.

  • Questionable to return

    Greenlaw is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Kansas City due to a calf injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw was seen on the sideline with a wrap on his right leg during the second half of Sunday's matchup, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available down the stretch. If he's unable to return, Oren Burks should see additional playing time.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Greenlaw recorded 11 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Greenlaw led the Niners in tackles as they put on an astounding defensive front on Sunday. The linebacker has compiled 49 tackles so far this season, but has yet to record an interception, pass breakup or forced fumble. The 2019 fifth-round pick should continue to play a prominent role in the team's defense as they take on the Falcons Sunday.

    Analysis: Greenlaw collected a whopping 15 stops in route to an impressive defensive display on Monday night against the defending Super Bowl champs. The 25-year-old linebacker is now up to 38 tackles on the year, while he has yet to miss a single defensive snap in 2022.

  • Eight tackles in win

    Greenlaw recorded eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 27-7 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Greenlaw has 13 tackles through the first two games of the season, but it's mostly just encouraging to see him healthy after he appeared in just three games during the 2021 campaign. Through his first two NFL seasons, the 2019 fifth-round pick totaled 178 stops across 29 games. If he stays healthy, Greenlaw could emerge as a solid IDP option in 2022.

  • Agrees to two-year extension

    Greenlaw and the 49ers agreed to a two-year contract extension Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw racked up eight tackles (six solo), including a tackle for loss, during Sunday's 27-7 win over the Seahawks and has been rewarded with an extension. The 2019 fifth-round pick missed most of the 2021 campaign due to injuries but should play a prominent role in San Francisco's defense as long as he can remain healthy this year.

    Analysis: Greenlaw saw his practice reps limited earlier this week as he dealt with an elbow injury, but it appears he's ready to go for Sunday's game versus the Seahawks. The Niners will be glad to have their starting linebacker available to cover Noah Fant in the flat and meet Rashaad Penny between the tackles.

    Analysis: Greenlaw played the entire game for San Francisco's defense in the opener at Chicago, but like last week, he'll have a cap on his practice reps to kick off Week 2 prep. His status still will be one to monitor ahead of the Niners' matchup versus Seattle on Sunday.

  • Will be available Sunday

    Greenlaw (elbow) will be available for Sunday's season opener against the Bears, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he's apparently good to go for the season opener. After recording 178 tackles across his first two seasons, the 2019 fifth-round pick appeared in only three regular-season games last year due to multiple injuries. Now that he's healthy, Greenlaw will look to reestablish himself as one of the top weakside linebackers in the NFL.

  • Limited in practice Wednesday

    Greenlaw (elbow) was listed as a limited participant on the 49ers' practice report Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw suffered a hamstring injury during last year's playoffs that carried over into training camp this August. The linebacker was finally able to fully practice again two weeks ago, but it now appears that he has picked up a new injury since this return. Should this injury persist, fellow linebackers Oren Burks and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles would see increased usage during Sunday's road matchup against the Bears.

    Greenlaw (hamstring) remains injured head into training camp.

    Analysis: Greenlaw injured his hamstring in the 49ers' loss to the Rams in the NFC Championship Game, and the team has yet to provide any updates on the potential starting linebacker. The 25-year-old appeared in just six games (including playoffs) due to injury last year, after combining for 178 tackles in his first two seasons in the NFL.

    Analysis: Greenlaw missed the 49ers' Week 17 win over the Texans while dealing with the groin injury, so opening Week 18 with any participation at practice is a good sign for his chances to play Sunday against the Rams.

    Greenlaw (abdomen) will be inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Greenlaw was forced out of the team's Week 12 contest against the Vikings after aggravating his core, and the injury will cause him to be inactive in Week 13. With the linebacker unavailable, the 49ers are looking very thin at the position, as Fred Warner (hamstring) is doubtful to play and Marcell Harris (concussion) is questionable.

    Analysis: Greenlaw was activated off injured reserve last week following core muscle surgery, but he was forced to leave Sunday's win over the Vikings early after appearing to suffer a setback. Rapoport reports that he hasn't been ruled out yet, but he won't practice Wednesday and will be closely monitored throughout the week. With Fred Warner (hamstring) and Marcell Harris (concussion) also dealing with injuries, the 49ers' linebacker corps is beginning to look extremely thin heading into Week 13.

    Analysis: Greenlaw left last Sunday's win over the Vikings early after suffering what appears to have been a core issue. The linebacker had just returned from a long hiatus due to a groin injury suffered in the season opener.

    Greenlaw is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings with a groin injury, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Greenlaw (groin) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw was injured in the first game of the season and has been sidelined since after undergoing core muscle surgery. He returned to practice prior to the team's Week 11 game Jacksonville and is now set to return for a Week 12 matchup against Minnesota.

  • Could return Sunday

    Greenlaw (groin) is expected to be activated from IR before Sunday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw was designated to return from IR on Nov. 17. He suffered the injury in the 49ers' first game of the season and required core muscle surgery to repair it. The return of the third-year linebacker would be a boost to the 49er defense, as they host the Vikings on Sunday.

  • Inches closer to return from IR

    Greenlaw (groin) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw has been on injured reserve since suffering a groin injury in the 49ers' season opener. The third-year linebacker played in 29 games over his first two regular seasons with the team, amassing 178 total tackles over that span and even returning an interception for a touchdown back in Week 1. Greenlaw could provide an extra jolt once he returns alongside starting linebackers Fred Warner and Azeez Al-Shaair as the team looks to fight its way back into playoff contention.

    Analysis: Greenlaw is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks after undergoing core muscle surgery, so this move was only a matter of time. The third-year linebacker recorded six tackles (four solo), a pass breakup and a pick-six in the season opener versus the Lions.

    Analysis: Greenlaw recorded six tackles and had a pick-six before going down with the injury during Sunday's season opener, and he's now likely to miss the rest of the first half of the season, at minimum.

    Greenlaw sat out Saturday's practice with a blister on his foot, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: It's a minor injury, so Greenlaw should be able to make a quick return to the field. The 24-year-old is expected to start at weakside linebacker for the 49ers in 2021 after totaling 86 tackles (61 solo) and a sack in 13 games last year.

    Greenlaw (calf) is expected to start at weakside linebacker in 2021, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Kwon Alexander went down early in the 2020 season with an ankle injury, so Greenlaw took over at weakside linebacker and started every game the rest of the way. The 2019 fifth-round pick finished with 73 tackles and a sack over the final 10 contests. He's not expected to have much pass-rushing upside, so his IDP utility will depend on his tackles.

    Greenlaw (calf) finished with 86 tackles (61 solo), a sack and a pass defended across 13 games with the 49ers in 2020.

    Analysis: Following a solid rookie campaign, Greenlaw began the year as the 49ers' starting Sam linebacker and was only on the field in base formations, which limited him to 26 to 52 percent of defensive snaps through the first five weeks of the season. San Francisco's front office eventually decided to deal Kwon Alexander and his large contract to New Orleans, which opened the door for Greenlaw to start at the more prominent Will position.

    Analysis: Greenlaw logged full practices Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday, so his addition to the injury report and inability to suit up Sunday comes as a surprise. The linebacker has been a key part of San Francisco's defensive game plan, playing at least 93 percent of defensive snaps every week since the Seahawks and 49ers first met in Week 8.

    Greenlaw recorded seven tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 23-15 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Greenlaw was tied for the team lead in tackles with seven, bringing his season total up to 74 through 11 games (eight starts). The second-year linebacker may fall short of the century mark in tackles, but he projects as a player who could surpass that total as a starter for a full season, a role he is likely to have in 2021. Greenlaw and fellow linebacker Fred Warner (shoulder/neck) should have several opportunities to rack up tackles against Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys on Sunday.

    Analysis: Greenlaw handled 97 percent of defensive snaps, which reiterates the fact that he's an every-down starter alongside Fred Warner. Though his tackle numbers haven't been quite on the level of Warner, who had a team-high 13 stops Thursday, Greenlaw is a valuable IDP asset in his current role.

The latter was traded to the Saints on Monday in order to clear cap space, which allows Greenlaw to start alongside Fred Warner for the remainder of the season.

  • Takes over important role

    Greenlaw racked up eight tackles (all solo) in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Kwon Alexander (ankle) was unable to go, opening the door for Greenlaw to move to weak-side linebacker and stay on the field for 100 percent of the defensive snaps. The second-year linebacker possesses the physical skills to put up big tackle numbers alongside Fred Warner. Assuming Alexander's high-ankle sprain keeps him out for the usual multi-week period, then Greenlaw quickly becomes an intriguing IDP option in the interim.

  • Downgrades to DNP

    Greenlaw (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw began the week as a limited participant, so Thursday's lack of practice activity represents a step in the wrong direction. His availability for Sunday's contest against the Giants could come down to what he's able to do in Friday's final practice of the week.

  • Limited to begin week

    Greenlaw was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw is dealing with an issue relating to quadriceps bruising, but there's not yet any reason to worry about his availability for Week 3. The second-year pro doesn't possess much IDP value in his rotational role, but the loss of Nick Bosa (knee) and Solomon Thomas (knee) could lead to the 49ers dialing up more pass rush opportunities for linebackers.

  • Returns to practice

    Greenlaw (concussion) returned to practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw was donning a blue non-contact jersey, but his return to the field indicates that he has been cleared from the concussion protocol. Assuming there are no setbacks, the 23-year-old will start at the Sam linebacker position and see 30-50 percent of the team's defensive snaps. Greenlaw's IDP value will be suppressed in his current role, but he would gain value if he is asked to fill in for Fred Warner (reserve/COVID-19) to start the season.

  • Dealing with injury

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Greenlaw is in concussion protocol, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Greenlaw suffered the head injury, but he'll have to gain clearance from an independent league doctor before returning to the field. It's too early to rule out Greenlaw for the 49ers' Week 1 tilt, but Mark Nzeocha would be in line for an expanded role at linebacker should Greenlaw sit out.

  • Strong rookie campaign

    Greenlaw had 92 tackles (64 solo), a sack and an interception in 16 games this season.

    Analysis: Greenlaw won the starting Sam linebacker job out of camp, and he saw his role increased when Kwon Alexander went down for the regular season in Week 9. The fifth-round pick showed excellent athleticism and ability to close out on ball carriers quickly, putting that ability on display when he stopped Seattle's tight end, Jacob Hollister, on the goal line as time expired in Week 17 to win the NFC West for the 49ers. If both Fred Warner and Alexander are healthy to begin the 2020 season, then…read more

    Greenlaw logged six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: The tackle number marks Greenlaw's lowest since taking over for Kwon Alexander (pectoral) in Week 10. He's put up 47 (30 solo) in those six games but hasn't made many big plays, with no sacks, one interception and two pass breakups in that span.

  • Adds eight tackles in win

    Greenlaw registered eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 37-8 win over the Packers.

    Analysis: Greenlaw has racked up eight or more tackles and played at least 94 percent of the 49ers' defensive snaps in three consecutive games. He should remain busy against MVP front-runner Lamar Jackson and the Ravens in Week 13.

  • Career high in tackles

    Greenlaw recorded 10 tackles during Monday's 36-26 victory over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: That's a new career high in tackles for the fifth-round rookie out of Arkansas. Seeing heavy playing time over the past two weeks, has Greenlaw racked up 20 tackles and one interception. He should have plenty of opportunity to keep it up with former starting linebacker Kwon Alexander (pectoral) on injured reserve.

  • Records interception Monday

    Greenlaw logged eight tackles (three solo) and recorded and interception in Monday night's loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: For a moment, it looked like Greenlaw would play the hero as he picked off Russell Wilson with a fingertip catch at the 49er four-yard line as the Seahawks threatened to end the game in overtime. Although it didn't work out that way, the 22-year-old still came up big in his first start since taking over for Kwon Alexander (pectoral), who's out for the year, setting season-highs in tackles and snaps in addition to the clutch play.

  • Set for increased role

    Greenlaw is likely to start at weakside linebacker going forward with Kwon Alexander (pectoral) done for the season, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Greenlaw made four solo tackles during Thursday's 28-25 win over the Cardinals, in addition to notching his first sack of the year. The rookie fifth-round pick has played a starting role in base defensive formations this season, and he stands to see a sharp uptick in snaps going forward. Heading into a favorable Week 10 matchup against Seattle's formidable rushing attack, Greenlaw is worth monitoring in IDP formats.
