Former Bronco Greenlaw Set to Face Old Team
2 Oct
Summary
- Broncos players McGlinchey, Hufanga, and Jones return to the Bay Area.
- Linebacker Dre Greenlaw, released in March, rejoins the 49ers.
- Courtland Sutton praised Greenlaw's passion and impact on defense.
The Denver Broncos' upcoming Week 4 game against the San Francisco 49ers features several reunions, notably with former Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw. Greenlaw, who was released by Denver in March and later re-signed with the 49ers, will face his former teammates for the first time in a regular-season matchup.
Offensive lineman Mike McGlinchey, safety Talanoa Hufanga, and defensive lineman D.J. Jones are also making their return to the Bay Area. Receiver Courtland Sutton spoke positively about Greenlaw, recalling his passion for football during his single season in Denver. Sutton acknowledged Greenlaw's strong partnership with fellow linebacker Fred Warner, describing them as a formidable duo that allows the rest of the 49ers defense to play aggressively.
Quarterback Bo Nix echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the sustained high level of play from both Greenlaw and Warner. He noted their excellent vision and ability to perform effectively in open space. Nix anticipates a challenging game for the Broncos' offense as they aim to neutralize the impact of these key linebackers.
