Dre Greenlaw - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Expected back for divisional round Greenlaw (hamstring) is expected to be set to suit up for the Broncos' divisional round matchup, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Coach Sean Payton said that the team will "see most everyone back" in time for whatever home matchup the Broncos draw in Week 20. The return of the linebacker would bolster a defense that already leads the NFL in sacks with 68. Greenlaw's return means that Karene Reid and Justin Strnad will likely see a reduction in defensive snaps.

Won't play Week 18 Greenlaw (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Greenlaw was unable to practice all week due to a hamstring injury and will miss a second consecutive game as a result. A Broncos' win Sunday would result in Denver clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a first-round bye, which would give the veteran linebacker more time to recover from his injury. Justin Strnad will likely start alongside Alex Singleton at inside linebacker in Greenlaw's absence.

Won't play Christmas Day Greenlaw (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact Greenlaw was unable to participate in any of the walkthrough practices during Week 17 prep due to a hamstring injury he sustained against the Jaguars on Sunday. The veteran linebacker is not considered a candidate for injured reserve, but the injury is severe enough that he is in jeopardy of being sidelined for Week 18 against the Chargers. Justin Strnad will likely start alongside Alex Singleton at inside linebacker for as long as Greenlaw is sidelined.

Not likely bound for IR Greenlaw (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Tuesday's estimated practice report but is not expected to be placed on injured reserve, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Greenlaw sustained a non-contact hamstring injury during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. There isn't a clear timeline for his return, and while a stint on injured reserve isn't on the table at this time, the veteran linebacker is trending toward not being available for Thursday's AFC West matchup against the Chiefs. Justin Strnad would be the top candidate to start at inside linebacker alongside Alex Singleton if Greenlaw were to miss time.

DNP to open week Greenlaw (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Greenlaw suffered a hamstring during the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, finishing with three tackles (one solo). The veteran linebacker will have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of Thursday's AFC West tilt against the Chiefs.

Ruled out with hamstring Greenlaw (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Greenlaw left the game in the fourth quarter and will not be able to return. The extended absence of the defensive leader would be a significant detriment for a Broncos defense that is looking to secure the AFC's top seed. Jonah Elliss or Dondrea Tillman will likely see an uptick in linebacker snaps for the Broncos in Greenlaw's absence.

Picks off Mariota in Week 13 OT win Greenlaw posted five tackles (two solo) and an interception during the Broncos' 27-26 overtime win over the Commanders on Sunday.

Impact Greenlaw halted the Commanders' red zone drive early in the second quarter, when he picked off an ill-advised pass from Marcus Mariota and returned it for 27 yards, which the Broncos' offense converted into a 33-yard field goal from Wil Lutz. It was Greenlaw's first interception of the season and first since the 2022 regular season as a member of the 49ers. The 2019 fifth-rounder is up to 28 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble across five regular-season games.

Four stops in win Greenlaw recorded four total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Chiefs.

Impact Greenlaw was able to be on the field for a season-high 39 defensive snaps, but he ultimately compiled his lowest tackle total of the year. The linebacker has been slowly rounding into form after missing the first six games of the year while recovering from a quadriceps injury. Greenlaw is now up to 23 total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed and a forced fumble over four contests this season.

Logs first sack of 2025 Greenlaw registered eight tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Broncos' 18-15 win over the Texans on Sunday.

Impact Greenlaw was credited for his first sack of the season after taking down C.J. Stroud early in the first quarter. Greenlaw played just 27 defensive snaps in Week 9 but still finished third on the Broncos in tackles behind Alex Singleton (10) and Talanoa Hufanga (nine). Greenlaw sat out of seven of the first nine games of the regular season due to a quadriceps injury and a suspension that caused him to miss Week 8 against the Cowboys, but the 2019 fifth-rounder could see his snap count increase over the course of the second half of the regular season.
