Dre Greenlaw

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the 49ers plan to activated Dre Greenlaw from the physically unable to perform list ahead of Week 15’s game against the Rams.

Greenlaw suffered a freak injury in the 49ers’ Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs when he suffered a torn Achilles while running from the sideline onto the field. The veteran linebacker is making a well-timed return for the Niners, who are currently 6-7 and likely need to win out if they hope to sneak into the NFC playoffs. Last season, Greenlaw totaled 120 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and five TFLs. He should provide immediate help for a 49ers defense that currently ranks 21st in points allowed per game. this season.
