Dre Greenlaw To Have Surgery, Out 6-8 Weeks
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (groin) plans to have surgery either Thursday or Friday to fix a groin injury, according to a source. Greenlaw will miss six to eight weeks after the surgery. The 24-year-old had a big game in the Week 1 victory over the Detroit Lions, recording six tackles (four solo) and an interception that he returned to the house for a touchdown. Marcell Harris will see a big increase in defensive snaps in the middle of San Fran's defense with Greenlaw now out for the foreseeable future. It's a blow to the 49ers defense/special teams unit in fantasy, and they certainly won't have the kind of upside they had in Week 1 when they face the Philadelphia Eagles on the road this Sunday.
