Broncos Open 21-Day Return Window for LB Dre Greenlaw

His first practice since Sept. 12 positions the former 49ers standout for a possible Week 7 debut.

Overview

  • Denver designated the veteran linebacker to return from injured reserve and listed him as a limited participant in Wednesday’s session, his first practice since Sept. 12.
  • Under NFL IR rules, the Broncos have up to 21 days to add him to the 53-man roster, making him eligible as soon as Sunday against the Giants or he will revert to IR for the season.
  • Dre Greenlaw has yet to play for Denver after an Achilles tear in Super Bowl LVIII and multiple quadriceps setbacks this year led to his September IR stint.
  • Teammates Patrick Surtain II and Jonathon Cooper said he looked sharp, as Denver’s defense enters Week 7 leading the league with 30 sacks after a nine-sack outing in London.
  • Coaches are likely to manage his workload and weigh activation timing, with Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad having handled inside-linebacker duties during his absence.
