San Francisco Weathers Hurricane of Injuries, Greenlaw Returns
San Francisco has endured a season marked by numerous injuries, with key players like Fred Warner and Christian McCaffrey missing significant time. However, a silver lining is the return of linebacker Curtis Greenlaw, who has been sidelined with an Achilles injury.
Greenlaw is expected to ease his way back into action on Thursday night, a standard approach for players returning from these types of injuries. Despite being out, he has already accumulated an impressive résumé, amassing 446 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 14 passes defensed, three interceptions, and two forced fumbles in 62 career games.
As one of the team’s most consistent players, Greenlaw has started 30 consecutive games over the past two seasons. His return couldn’t come at a better time, with the 49ers midst in a tight NFC West division race. Thursday night’s game will be crucial in sorting out the division standings, and Greenlaw’s availability will be a welcome boost for the team.
