The San Francisco 49ers lost linebacker Dre Greenlaw to the Denver Broncos in free agency this past offseason. It seemed like a huge loss at the time, but with the latest news on Greenlaw, it is more evidence the Niners lucked out.
Greenlaw was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers before the Broncos decided to place him on IR which means he will miss at least another four games as he deals with a thigh injury.
The alarm bells were already going off for Denver when Greenlaw missed Week 1 after dealing with injuries in training camp and the preseason.
