Rumors of Dre Greenlaw's season-ending injury have been putting Broncos fans on edge, but recent updates should quell those concerns. According to a source familiar with the situation, the Denver linebacker will be back on the field in just about eight weeks.
Contrary to earlier reports suggesting a serious setback, another source confirmed that Greenlaw dodged the dreaded torn quadriceps. The prognosis is much more hopeful, thankfully, as the injury turns out to be just a strain.
What does this mean for the Broncos? Well, come training camp, Greenlaw should be ready to lace up his cleats and hit the ground running. This is no small relief for Denver, who signed him as a significant free-agent acquisition in March, aiming to bolster their defensive lineup.
Greenlaw, spending six solid years with the San Francisco 49ers before his move to Denver, was anticipated to be a key player this season. Broncos fans, breathe easy. Your team's investment appears to be safely intact.
