Overview

  • Dre Greenlaw sustained a quadriceps injury during a workout, with reports differing on whether it is a tear or a strain.
  • NBC Sports Bay Area reported the injury as a tear that could sideline Greenlaw for months, potentially impacting the 2025 season.
  • The Denver Post offered a contrasting assessment, citing a source who described the injury as a strain with a recovery timeline of weeks, not months.
  • Greenlaw signed a three-year, $31.5 million contract with the Broncos in March after playing limited snaps in 2024 while recovering from a Super Bowl Achilles tear.
  • The Broncos and 49ers have both made roster adjustments in recent years to account for Greenlaw's recurring injury challenges.
