49ers' Dre Greenlaw Returns After 10-Month Recovery, Exits Early in Loss to Rams

Greenlaw's return energized San Francisco's defense, but his early departure and offensive struggles contributed to a 12-6 defeat.

Dre Greenlaw made his season debut for the 49ers, 10 months after tearing his Achilles in Super Bowl LVIII.
Greenlaw recorded eight tackles in the first half, helping the 49ers hold the Rams to just three points and 89 yards before halftime.
He exited the game in the third quarter due to knee and Achilles soreness, which head coach Kyle Shanahan downplayed as non-serious.
The 49ers' defense faltered in the second half without Greenlaw, allowing three field goals and 213 yards as the Rams secured a 12-6 victory.
The loss drops the 49ers to 6-8, significantly dimming their playoff hopes in a competitive NFC West division.
