San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw is expected to be activated in time to make his season debut against the visiting Los Angeles Rams on Thursday, NFL Network reported.
Greenlaw has been sidelined since tearing his Achilles tendon in Super Bowl LVIII on Feb. 11.
He was injured when he began to run on to the field following a punt during the second quarter of the 49ers’ 25-22 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas.
The 49ers (6-7) reside tied with the Arizona Cardinals (6-7) in the cellar of the NFC West, one game behind the Rams (7-6) and two in back of the division-leading Seattle Seahawks (8-5).
Greenlaw, 27, was a fifth-round pick by San Francisco in the 2019 NFL Draft. He collected 120 tackles along with four passes defended, 1.5 sacks and four quarterback hits in 15 games last season.
