49ers will open Greenlaw’s practice window ahead of Week 13 vs. Bills originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Dre Greenlaw is one step closer to stepping back onto the field for the 49ers.
San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan shared on Monday that the team will open Greenlaw’s practice window this week after the linebacker has spent the entire 2024 NFL season on injured reserve after suffering a torn Achilles in the Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
“We are going to open it this week,” Shanahan said via conference call. “He should be able to start practicing on Wednesday.”
The 49ers have been careful not to open practice windows for any of their players too early. With that in mind, if everything goes according to plan, Greenlaw could return to the field as early as Week 13 when San Francisco travels to the east coast for a primetime matchup against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium.
Shanahan also hopes several other star players, including quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder), defensive end Nick Bosa (rib/oblique) and left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) can return this week.
“They had the MRIs and everything,” Shanahan said of Bosa and Williams. “We kind of understand it, but just waiting to see how they respond. They didn’t respond great last week, that’s why they weren’t able to go, Nick and Trent are both in the same boat, we will evaluate as the week progresses and hopefully it turns a better corner this week than it did last week.”
Other injuries from the 49ers’ 38-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday include defensive lineman Jordan Elliott and offensive lineman Aaron Banks who are in the league’s concussion protocol, while cornerback Renardo Green (neck) is day-to-day.
Both offensive lineman Dominick Puni (shoulder) and cornerback Deommodore Lenoir (knee) will have MRIs on Monday to determine the severity of their injuries. Shanahan did not have any further updates at the time of the call.
