49ers lose Dre Greenlaw for up to 8 weeks

Injuries ruined the 49ers season in 2020 and are already starting to take a toll on this year’s roster.

Already without cornerback Jason Verrett and running back Raheem Mostert due to season ending injuries, today it was reported that starting linebacker Dre Greenlaw had surgery to repair a groin injury leaving San Francisco without its starting weakside linebacker for up to eight weeks.

Greenlaw played 37 snaps in a season opening victory over Detroit, however he did not return to the game after returning an interception of Jared Goff for a touchdown just before halftime.

The 49ers have made a number of moves this week to fill the gaps caused by the injuries.
