49ers' Dre Greenlaw: Returns to San Francisco
The 49ers signed Greenlaw to a one-year, $7.5 million contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Greenlaw spent the first six years of his career with San Francisco before signing with the Broncos last offseason. Greenlaw went on to miss more than half of the season due to quadriceps and hamstring injuries, appearing in just eight regular-season contests. He's made just 10 regular-season appearances across the last two seasons due to lower-body injuries. Greenlaw knows the system and is a veteran option for a linebacker group that dealt with a rash of injuries during the 2025 campaign.

Dre Greenlaw: Cut loose by Denver
The Broncos released Greenlaw on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Per Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette, cutting Greenlaw provided the Broncos with $6.023 million in salary cap relief and means that Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad will both serve as Denver's starting inside linebackers for the 2026 campaign. Greenlaw inked a three-year deal with the Broncos in March of 2025 after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the 49ers. He was limited to just eight regular-season games in 2025 due to quadriceps and hamstring injuries, though he managed to play in both of Denver's playoff games and logged 10 tackles across those two contests, and he will now be a post June-1 cut. Greenlaw has appeared in just 10 regular-season games over the last two years due to multiple lower-body injuries, but the Arkansas product should garner interest from teams who are looking to add veteran depth to their linebacker corps.

Broncos' Dre Greenlaw: Injury-riddled season in Denver
Greenlaw recorded 43 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defensed, including one interception and one forced fumble, across eight regular-season games with Denver in 2025.
Greenlaw's first season with the Broncos was an overall disappointment due to quadriceps and hamstring injuries that sidelined him for much of the season. With that said, the 28-year-old linebacker did make an impact when he was on the field, proving to be an excellent addition to the Broncos defense when healthy. The former 49er will look to stay healthy in 2026 and should play a key role in the Broncos' top-tier defense next season.

Broncos' Dre Greenlaw: Will play against Buffalo
Greenlaw (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's AFC divisional-round game against the Bills, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Greenlaw ended the week with a full practice Thursday, which was enough for him to avoid an injury designation for Saturday's contest. The veteran linebacker missed the Broncos' final two games of the regular season while nursing a hamstring injury and enjoyed additional rest thanks to the Broncos' wild-card round bye as the top seed in the AFC. With Greenlaw starting alongside Alex Singleton at inside linebacker, Justin Strnad and Karene Reid will provide depth at the position.

Broncos' Dre Greenlaw: Should return Saturday vs. Buffalo
Greenlaw (hamstring) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Greenlaw missed the final two games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury. The Broncos enjoyed a bye for the wild-card as the AFC's No. 1 seed, and with that additional rest, the veteran linebacker is expected to be available for Saturday's divisional-round tilt against Buffalo, per Luca Evans of The Denver Post. Greenlaw will have two more opportunities this week to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation ahead of the divisional round.

Broncos' Dre Greenlaw: Expected back for divisional round
Greenlaw (hamstring) is expected to suit up for the Broncos' divisional round matchup, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Coach Sean Payton said that the team will "see most everyone back" in time for whatever home matchup the Broncos draw in the divisional round. The return of the linebacker would bolster a defense that already leads the NFL in sacks with 68. Greenlaw's return means that Karene Reid and Justin Strnad will likely see a reduction in defensive snaps.

Broncos' Dre Greenlaw: Won't play Week 18
Greenlaw (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Greenlaw was unable to practice all week due to a hamstring injury and will miss a second consecutive game as a result. A Broncos win Sunday would result in Denver clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a first-round bye, which would give the veteran linebacker more time to recover from his injury. Justin Strnad will likely start alongside Alex Singleton at inside linebacker in Greenlaw's absence.

Greenlaw (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Broncos' Dre Greenlaw: Won't play Christmas Day
Greenlaw (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.
Greenlaw was unable to participate in any of the walkthrough practices during Week 17 prep due to a hamstring injury he sustained against the Jaguars on Sunday. The veteran linebacker is not considered a candidate for injured reserve, but the injury is severe enough that he is in jeopardy of being sidelined for Week 18 against the Chargers. Justin Strnad will likely start alongside Alex Singleton at inside linebacker for as long as Greenlaw is sidelined.

Broncos' Dre Greenlaw: Not likely bound for IR
Greenlaw (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Tuesday's estimated practice report but is not expected to be placed on injured reserve, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.
Greenlaw sustained a non-contact hamstring injury during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. There isn't a clear timeline for his return, and while a stint on injured reserve isn't on the table at this time, the veteran linebacker is trending toward not being available for Thursday's AFC West matchup against the Chiefs. Justin Strnad would be the top candidate to start at inside linebacker alongside Alex Singleton if Greenlaw were to miss time.

Broncos' Dre Greenlaw: DNP to open week
Greenlaw (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Greenlaw suffered a hamstring injury during the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, finishing with three tackles (one solo). The veteran linebacker will have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of Thursday's AFC West tilt against the Chiefs.

Broncos' Dre Greenlaw: Ruled out with hamstring injury
Greenlaw (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Greenlaw left the game in the fourth quarter and will not return. The extended absence of the defensive leader would be a significant detriment for a Broncos defense that is looking to secure the AFC's top seed. Jonah Elliss or Dondrea Tillman likely will see an uptick in linebacker snaps for the Broncos in Greenlaw's absence.
