Injuries have been the story of the season so far for the 49ers, as they only recently got running back Christian McCaffrey back and have also dealt with a season-ending injury to receiver Brandon Aiyuk.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers have been without star linebacker\u00a0Dre Greenlaw throughout this season after he tore his Achilles during last year&#8217;s Super Bowl, but if the latest reports are any indication, the 27 year-old could be closing in on a return, as he was back at practice this week, per Myles Simmons of NBC Sports.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, 49ers general manager John Lynch took to a radio interview with KNBR that hinted at\u00a0an expected return\u00a0for the linebacker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[I]t\u2019s going to be really cool to see 57 out there\u00a0<span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">on that field<\/span>,\u201d Lynch said, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. \u201cIt will be even better when we get him back in game action. That would be foolish, though, to have a guy be off this long, stick him out for his first practice. We try to simulate as much with the trainers. They do a great job. But now, it\u2019s a next step of his rehab process, getting into practice, which I\u2019m really proud of Dre, with the way he\u2019s attacked this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lynch also spoke on just how happy he is for Greenlaw.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a difference-maker for us on the field, but we\u2019re inspired just by watching him out here. So, hats off to the kid for working his tail off. I love Dre Greenlaw and what he\u2019s brought to the Niners. And I\u2019m really proud and excited for him, that he\u2019s taking this next step,\u201d said Lynch.<\/p>\n<article class=\"article-body prose max-w-none pb-7 pt-5 prose-figure:max-w-full prose-ol:pl-10 prose-img:max-w-full prose-video:max-w-full md:prose-ol:pl-6 [&amp;_iframe]:m-auto [&amp;_iframe]:block [&amp;_iframe]:max-w-full\">Greenlaw injured his Achilles while running onto the field from the sidelines in between plays during last year&#8217;s Super Bowl, which the 49ers lost in heartbreaking fashion to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime from Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers defense has certainly felt the impact of the loss this year, as the unit hasn&#8217;t been nearly as dominant as it was in recent seasons, thanks in no small part to Greenlaw&#8217;s absence.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, things won&#8217;t get any easier from here for the 49ers, as the team is next set to take the field on Sunday evening on the road against the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 49ers could be getting some help soon.
