The 49ers deemed LB Fred Warner (hamstring) doubtful for Sunday's game at Seattle. The only surprise there is that he has any chance of playing. Initial reports projected him to miss a week or 2 with the injury. Expect the Niners to be without their star LB, though. LB Dre Greenlaw (groin) has been ruled out. LB/S Marcell Harris (concussion) is questionable. The depleted LB corps helps the outlook for Seahawks TE Gerald Everett.
ESPN reports that the 49ers expect LB Fred Warner to miss 1-2 weeks with the hamstring strain he suffered in Sunday's win over the Vikings. Fellow LB Dre Greenlaw is day-to-day, Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News reports. That leaves Azeez Al-Shaair as the best bet to lead San Francisco LBs in playing time for the Week 13 clash with Seattle.
Niners HC Kyle Shanahan expects to get LB Dre Greenlaw activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Greenlaw has been out since suffering a groin injury back in Week 1, so it's tough to expect an immediate return to full playing time. We'll see if we hear anything else about the LB plan for Sunday's game. If we don't, it'll be risky to use either Greenlaw or Azeez Al-Shaair in IDP lineups this week.
Niners LB Dre Greenlaw needs surgery for the groin injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Lions. ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports that Greenlaw is expected to "be out into November before being reassessed." Although the 49ers hope to get him back this season, that timeline means you can go ahead and drop Greenlaw in nearly all IDP redraft leagues. Azeez Al-Shaair will fill in as the #2 LB alongside Fred Warner. Al-Shaair tallied 7 tackles, 2 tackles for loss and 2 passes defensed in Week 1.
Niners LB Dre Greenlaw left Sunday's win over the Lions just before halftime with a groin injury and did not return. Azeez Al-Shaair got a playing-time boost, spending 78% of the snaps on the field in all. He'd be in play for deeper IDP leagues should Greenlaw miss further time. We'll keep an eye out this work for more details on the injury.
