The San Francisco 49ers have opened the practice window for linebacker Dre Greenlaw, and he has more to do than simply get on the field.
The last we saw of Greenlaw was Super Bowl LVIII when he suffered an Achilles tear from just walking out of the field. The loss of Greenlaw helped the Kansas City Chiefs offense get some rhythm after the injury.
It was terrible timing for many reasons. The length of time to recover from an Achilles injury is long, and given how the 49ers were playing football in February at this point, that meant it’d leak into the season.
