Full participant in practice
Greenlaw (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw suffered a shoulder strain prior to last week's bye but appears on track to play Sunday versus the Jaguars. The 26-year-old will now look to help slow down Trevor Lawrence and the rest of Jacksonville's offense.

Dealing with shoulder sprain
Greenlaw is considered day-to-day after sustaining a shoulder sprain in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Bengals, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: He still managed to play 95 percent of the defensive snaps Sunday and registered eight tackles (six solo) for the game. The 49ers are on bye next week, which should give Greenlaw plenty of time to rest up and be fully healthy for their Week 10 contest against the Jaguars.

Chance to return Monday
Greenlaw (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Vikings, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: The 26-year-old linebacker out of Arkansas was able to log limited practice sessions Friday and Saturday after not practicing Thursday, making it seem as if he's trending in the right direction to play Monday night. Greenlaw has appeared in five games for San Francisco this season, recording 37 total tackles, three tackles for loss and two pass breakups.

Returns to practice Friday
Greenlaw (hamstring) logged a limited practice session Friday.
Analysis: Greenlaw sat out the Week 6 loss to Cleveland due to a hamstring issue and didn't practice Thursday during the 49ers' first session of this week. However, his ability to participate -- albeit in limited fashion -- Friday gives him a chance to return for Week 7 against Minnesota on Monday. If Greenlaw is deemed unable to play, however, Oren Burks would likely be set to start again.

Inactive Sunday
Greenlaw (hamstring) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw was able to play through an ankle issue during the 49ers' Week 5 win over the Cowboys, but it seems as if he won't be able to do the same with a hamstring injury this weekend. Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles is expected to see an uptick in work as San Francisco's third linebacker with Greenlaw missing time.

Listed as questionable
The 49ers have listed Greenlaw (hamstring) as questionable ahead of Sunday's game in Cleveland, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw fought through an ankle injury prior to the team's Week 5 victory over the Cowboys and ultimately recorded five solo tackles and one sack. It looks like he also picked up a new hamstring issue in the game. His status Sunday is unlikely to be determined until hours before kickoff, as he will have to test things out on the field and get the go-ahead from team doctors. The standout linebacker is backed up by Dee Winters, who would likely be the next man up, if needed.

Gets first sack
Greenlaw recorded five solo tackles and one sack in the 49ers 42-10 win over the Cowboys in Week 5.
Analysis: Greenlaw overcame an ankle injury to play in Sunday's contest. His sack marked his first of the season. Given the team's offensive dominance in time of possession, he only saw 36 defensive snaps (73 percent). The linebacker will now focus on the team's Week 6 game in Cleveland.

Will play Sunday
Greenlaw (ankle) has been cleared to play in Week 5 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw began the week with a DNP due to an ankle issue, but he was able to practice in full Friday after logging a limited session Thursday. That progression was enough for San Francisco to deem him available to play in an NFC showdown against Dallas on Sunday. Greenlaw has registered 32 tackles (22 solo) through four contests this season.

Analysis: Greenlaw has been dealing with an ankle issue the last couple weeks, but considering he was able to play in Sunday's 35-16 win over the Cardinals, the linebacker seems likely to be available for the team's Week 5 matchup with Dallas. The 26-year-old will have two more practices this week to increase his participation.

Will play Sunday
Greenlaw (ankle) is active Sunday against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Greenlaw closed out the week with back-to-back limited practices, which was enough to get the Arkansas product on the field Sunday. He should hold down his usual role at weakside linebacker against Arizona.

Considered questionable
Greenlaw (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's clash with the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw progressed from non-participant to practicing in limited fashion as the week progressed, so he is seemingly trending in the right direction. Still, his final status is unlikely to be confirmed until Sunday morning. Dee Winters would be the prime candidate to replace him at weakside linebacker should he not ultimately get the green light.

Absent from practice Wednesday
Greenlaw (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw was injured in the Week 3 win over the Giants six days ago. It was initially reported that Greenlaw was day-to-day with the injury, so perhaps the 49ers are just being cautious with their starting linebacker.

Day-to-day with ankle injury
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Greenlaw is "day to day" with an ankle injury he suffered in Thursday night's 30-12 win over the Giants, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw suffered the injury in the second half and logged just 84 percent of the defensive snaps after playing 97 percent and 99 percent in Weeks 1 and 2. On the season, he has 22 tackles, one TFL, one QB hit and one pass breakup. The 49ers get a sort of mini-bye ahead of a Week 4 contest versus Arizona nine days from now.

Five tackles in Week 3 win
Greenlaw recorded five tackles (four solo) and a quarterback hit in Thursday's 30-12 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Greenlaw tied for the team lead in tackles on a relatively easy night for San Francisco's vaunted defense against a Giants team playing without star running back Saquon Barkley (ankle). With 22 tackles through three games, Greenlaw's on pace for similar production to last year's 127-tackle campaign.

Analysis: Greenlaw was able to notch a great tackle total despite Matthew Stafford throwing 55 pass attempts in Week 2. He achieved a career-high 127 tackles in 2022 and is well on pace to surpass that figure in 2023.

Greenlaw (groin) did not participate at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at the Rams, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw is reportedly sore following San Francisco's win at Pittsburgh in Week 1, but it's not clear if he's actually at risk of missing game action. In any case, the 49ers' Thursday and Friday injury reports should hopefully shed more light on the situation.

Non-participant at practice
Greenlaw (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Aside from some side work, Greenlaw has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since Aug. 10. The original expectation was that he would be back by now, but it looks like the 49ers are continuing to err on the side of caution. When healthy, the 26-year-old is slated to start at weak-side linebacker. Next week's injury report should provide much more clarity on Greenlaw's status heading into Week 1.

Still working on side
Greenlaw (hamstring) is still working on the side at practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The original expectation was that Greenlaw would have returned to full contact at practice by now. There has been no word on any type of setback with his hamstring, so it is possible that the 49ers are just erring on the side of caution with their starting weak-side linebacker. The 26-year-old recorded 127 tackles (82 solo), one interception, six passes defended, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 15 games in 2022.

Injury bug bites again
Greenlaw pulled his hamstring at practice Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: After rehabbing from finger surgery this offseason, Greenlaw suffered another that has a chance of keeping him sidelined for a stretch. This hamstring pull is something to look out for now and into the coming season, as soft-tissue injuries can linger. Once the 26-year-old returns to form, expect him to continue starting alongside Fred Warner on one of the best defenses in the NFL.

Analysis: Greenlaw spent most of the offseason recovering from finger surgery but has since moved past the issue.

Analysis: Greenlaw hurt his back against the Raiders in Week 17 and missed San Francisco's regular-season finale versus Arizona after logging three DNPs during the week. However, his ability to practice -- albeit in limited fashion -- both Tuesday and Wednesday suggests that he has a chance to participate in Saturday's wild-card contest versus the Seahawks.

Analysis: Greenlaw was unable to practice in any capacity before sitting out the regular-season finale, but a return to practice could pave the way for the productive linebacker to suit up in San Francisco's playoff opener.

Analysis: No surprise here, as Greenlaw was unable to practice during the week after injuring his back in Week 17. The 49ers will err on the side of caution ahead of wild-card weekend. In his absence, Oren Burks is the likely candidate to replace him at weakside linebacker.

Greenlaw compiled 15 tackles (10 solo), an interception and pass defensed in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Greenlaw's 15 stops ties a season high, while his interception was his first on the year and third of his career. The fourth-year pro is enjoying his best season yet, as his 103 tackles so far has already surpassed his previous high of 92 in his rookie season.

Analysis: Greenlaw has logged at least seven total tackles in each of his last four appearances. With 88 total tackles (61 solo) through 11 contests, Greenlaw is well on track to tally a new career-best mark, though he's still looking for his first sack of the 2022 campaign.

Seven stops before early exit
Greenlaw recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Greenlaw logged seven stops before being ejected for a head-to-head hit on Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert near the end of the first half. Nevertheless, the fourth-year linebacker still tied Fred Warner for a team high in tackles despite only playing 60 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps. Greenlaw is not known to be dealing with a head injury following this collision, so he should reprise a productive role against Arizona on Monday Night Football in Week 11.

Analysis: Greenlaw had a helmet-to-helmet hit against Justin Herbert shortly before halftime during Sunday's matchup and was tossed from the game after a discussion by the referees.

Analysis: Greenlaw suffered a right leg injury during the team's Week 7 loss and was unable to practice during Week 8 prep, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out. His next chance to suit up will come after the 49ers' Week 9 bye against the Chargers on Nov. 13. In Greenlaw's absence, Oren Burks is a likely candidate for increased snaps.

Leads team in tackles
Greenlaw recorded 11 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Greenlaw led the Niners in tackles as they put on an astounding defensive front on Sunday. The linebacker has compiled 49 tackles so far this season, but has yet to record an interception, pass breakup or forced fumble. The 2019 fifth-round pick should continue to play a prominent role in the team's defense as they take on the Falcons Sunday.

Eight tackles in win
Greenlaw recorded eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 27-7 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Greenlaw has 13 tackles through the first two games of the season, but it's mostly just encouraging to see him healthy after he appeared in just three games during the 2021 campaign. Through his first two NFL seasons, the 2019 fifth-round pick totaled 178 stops across 29 games. If he stays healthy, Greenlaw could emerge as a solid IDP option in 2022.

Agrees to two-year extension

Analysis: Greenlaw racked up eight tackles (six solo), including a tackle for loss, during Sunday's 27-7 win over the Seahawks and has been rewarded with an extension. The 2019 fifth-round pick missed most of the 2021 campaign due to injuries but should play a prominent role in San Francisco's defense as long as he can remain healthy this year.

Greenlaw (abdomen) will be inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Greenlaw was forced out of the team's Week 12 contest against the Vikings after aggravating his core, and the injury will cause him to be inactive in Week 13. With the linebacker unavailable, the 49ers are looking very thin at the position, as Fred Warner (hamstring) is doubtful to play and Marcell Harris (concussion) is questionable.

Rapoport reports that he hasn't been ruled out yet, but he won't practice Wednesday and will be closely monitored throughout the week.

The linebacker had just returned from a long hiatus due to a groin injury suffered in the season opener.

Seven tackles in loss
Greenlaw recorded seven tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 23-15 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Greenlaw was tied for the team lead in tackles with seven, bringing his season total up to 74 through 11 games (eight starts). The second-year linebacker may fall short of the century mark in tackles, but he projects as a player who could surpass that total as a starter for a full season, a role he is likely to have in 2021. Greenlaw and fellow linebacker Fred Warner (shoulder/neck) should have several opportunities to rack up tackles against Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys on Sunday.

Analysis: Greenlaw handled 97 percent of defensive snaps, which reiterates the fact that he's an every-down starter alongside Fred Warner.

Takes over important role
Greenlaw racked up eight tackles (all solo) in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Kwon Alexander (ankle) was unable to go, opening the door for Greenlaw to move to weak-side linebacker and stay on the field for 100 percent of the defensive snaps. The second-year linebacker possesses the physical skills to put up big tackle numbers alongside Fred Warner. Assuming Alexander's high-ankle sprain keeps him out for the usual multi-week period, then Greenlaw quickly becomes an intriguing IDP option in the interim.

Analysis: Greenlaw will return to the lineup after two games on the sidelines. He's expected to start at strong-side linebacker against the Dolphins. Before suffering the injury, Greenlaw posted six tackles and a pass breakup over 52 defensive snaps.

Limited practice status
Greenlaw (quadriceps) practiced on a limited basis during Wednesday's session, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw has missed the past two contests with the quadriceps issue, as it's unclear when he'll be able to return. Look for Thursday's practice to shine a better light on his chances to play in Week 5, but if he's forced to miss more time, Azeez Al-Shaair will continue to be the main beneficiary of Greenlaw's absence.

Out for Sunday's game
Greenlaw (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: The 49ers defense has been decimated by injuries, and Greenlaw will miss a second straight game. Azeez Al-Shaair was the main beneficiary of Greenlaw's absence in Week 3 while Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles also rotated in.

Unlikely to play Week 4
Greenlaw (quadriceps) isn't expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: The 2019 fifth-round pick sustained the injury during Week 2 and sat out Sunday's win over the Giants, and it appears he'll be sidelined for a second straight contest. Greenlaw's participation at practice later this week will provide a better idea of his progression heading into Week 4.

Out for Sunday's game
Greenlaw (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Giants, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw will sit out his first game since entering the league as a fifth-round pick in 2019. He hasn't logged more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps in either game this season, so Mark Nzeocha and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles will likely rotate in Greenlaw's place Sunday.

Downgrades to DNP
Greenlaw (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw began the week as a limited participant, so Thursday's lack of practice activity represents a step in the wrong direction. His availability for Sunday's contest against the Giants could come down to what he's able to do in Friday's final practice of the week.

Limited to begin week
Greenlaw was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw is dealing with an issue relating to quadriceps bruising, but there's not yet any reason to worry about his availability for Week 3. The second-year pro doesn't possess much IDP value in his rotational role, but the loss of Nick Bosa (knee) and Solomon Thomas (knee) could lead to the 49ers dialing up more pass rush opportunities for linebackers.

Returns to practice
Greenlaw (concussion) returned to practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw was donning a blue non-contact jersey, but his return to the field indicates that he has been cleared from the concussion protocol. Assuming there are no setbacks, the 23-year-old will start at the Sam linebacker position and see 30-50 percent of the team's defensive snaps. Greenlaw's IDP value will be suppressed in his current role, but he would gain value if he is asked to fill in for Fred Warner (reserve/COVID-19) to start the season.

Dealing with injury
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Greenlaw is in concussion protocol, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: It's unclear how Greenlaw suffered the head injury, but he'll have to gain clearance from an independent league doctor before returning to the field. It's too early to rule out Greenlaw for the 49ers' Week 1 tilt, but Mark Nzeocha would be in line for an expanded role at linebacker should Greenlaw sit out.

Strong rookie campaign
Greenlaw had 92 tackles (64 solo), a sack and an interception in 16 games this season.
Analysis: Greenlaw won the starting Sam linebacker job out of camp, and he saw his role increased when Kwon Alexander went down for the regular season in Week 9. The fifth-round pick showed excellent athleticism and ability to close out on ball carriers quickly, putting that ability on display when he stopped Seattle's tight end, Jacob Hollister, on the goal line as time expired in Week 17 to win the NFC West for the 49ers. If both Fred Warner and Alexander are healthy to begin the 2020 season, then…read more

Leads team in tackles in win

Records six tackles in loss
Greenlaw logged six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: The tackle number marks Greenlaw's lowest since taking over for Kwon Alexander (pectoral) in Week 10. He's put up 47 (30 solo) in those six games but hasn't made many big plays, with no sacks, one interception and two pass breakups in that span.

Adds eight tackles in win
Greenlaw registered eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 37-8 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Greenlaw has racked up eight or more tackles and played at least 94 percent of the 49ers' defensive snaps in three consecutive games. He should remain busy against MVP front-runner Lamar Jackson and the Ravens in Week 13.

Career high in tackles
Greenlaw recorded 10 tackles during Monday's 36-26 victory over the Cardinals.
Analysis: That's a new career high in tackles for the fifth-round rookie out of Arkansas. Seeing heavy playing time over the past two weeks, has Greenlaw racked up 20 tackles and one interception. He should have plenty of opportunity to keep it up with former starting linebacker Kwon Alexander (pectoral) on injured reserve.

Records interception Monday
Greenlaw logged eight tackles (three solo) and recorded and interception in Monday night's loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: For a moment, it looked like Greenlaw would play the hero as he picked off Russell Wilson with a fingertip catch at the 49er four-yard line as the Seahawks threatened to end the game in overtime. Although it didn't work out that way, the 22-year-old still came up big in his first start since taking over for Kwon Alexander (pectoral), who's out for the year, setting season-highs in tackles and snaps in addition to the clutch play.

Set for increased role
Greenlaw is likely to start at weakside linebacker going forward with Kwon Alexander (pectoral) done for the season, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Greenlaw made four solo tackles during Thursday's 28-25 win over the Cardinals, in addition to notching his first sack of the year. The rookie fifth-round pick has played a starting role in base defensive formations this season, and he stands to see a sharp uptick in snaps going forward. Heading into a favorable Week 10 matchup against Seattle's formidable rushing attack, Greenlaw is worth monitoring in IDP formats.
