Dre Greenlaw Has Successful Surgery

San Francisco 49ers star linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) had successful surgery on Thursday to fix a torn left Achilles tendon, according to a source. Greenlaw suffered a full tear while running from the sideline onto the field during Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday versus the Kansas City Chiefs in the second quarter. He will make a full recovery, but there's a good chance he might not be ready to go for the start of the 2024 regular season this fall. The 26-year-old's injury was a crushing blow for the Niners in their 25-22 overtime loss to KC. Greenlaw was phenomenal during the regular season, recording 120 tackles on 811 defensive snaps played. When he's healthy enough to return later this year, he'll return to his key role as a starter for San Fran's D.
