The 49ers are aiming for Dre Greenlaw’s return in Week 1, but there is a possibility he will start the season on the physically unable to perform list. Despite the setback, 49ers linebackers coach Johnny Holland is confident in Greenlaw’s ability to bounce back stronger than ever. He praised Greenlaw’s positive attitude and described him as a “violent, physical player” who embodies the 49er defensive mindset.
Greenlaw is in the process of recovering from a torn Achilles, which he described as a “long, long, slow process.” The injury occurred during the Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs and he is now out of a protective boot three months later. While the exact timeline for his return is uncertain, Holland believes Greenlaw will overcome his injury and make a significant impact on the team when he returns to the field. Injuries are part of the game, but Greenlaw’s resilience and determination give the 49ers hope for his successful recovery.
