Rapoport: 49ers’ Dre Greenlaw a ‘long-shot’ to play vs. Seahawks

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, San Francisco 49ers linebacker
Dre Greenlaw is a "long-shot" to play against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. However, Rapoport notes that the 49ers have not ruled out the defender. Greenlaw won't practice today, and the team will monitor him through the week.
The 49ers have already ruled out linebacker
Fred Warner, who suffered a hamstring strain against the Minnesota Vikings this past weekend. However, San Francisco hopes to have him back for Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Greenlaw irritated his core muscle injury against the Vikings, and head coach Kyle Shanahan declared him to be day-to-day this week. It's the same injury that landed Greenlaw on injured reserve after Week 1.
"
We'll see how this week goes," Shanahan said on Monday.
San Francisco made Greenlaw a fifth-round draft pick in 2019. In three NFL seasons, he has recorded 187 tackles, 10 tackles for a loss, two sacks, four quarterback hits, two interceptions, a touchdown, and four passes defended through 31 game appearances and 23 starts.
The absence of Greenlaw leaves the 49ers with linebackers
Azeez Al-Shaair,
Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, and Marcell Harris. Harris, however, is in the concussion protocol this week. The team also has Tyrell Adams on the practice squad.

Rapoport: Sam Darnold will 'more likely than not' be 49ers' Week 1 starting QB
Ah, San Francisco 49ers offseason quarterback drama. We haven't had that since … well, last offseason. If there is one thing you can count on with the Bay Area team on a yearly basis, it's quarterback drama.
General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan made one thing clear over the last two days: If he were healthy, Brock Purdy would be the frontrunner to start Week 1 of the 2023 season. However, he is recovering from his March 10 surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tear in his right elbow. That will keep him off the practice field until maybe early September.
That timeline could extend beyond September. It's just too early for

49ers considered trading Mike McGlinchey last year
Mike McGlinchey received a life-changing payday, signing a five-year, $87.5 million deal with the Denver Broncos. The offensive tackle has known for a while that he would not return to the San Francisco 49ers, the only NFL team he has played for and the one that made him the No. 9 overall pick in 2018.
General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan made it clear to McGlinchey that he was likely playing his final months for the team. There was too much money invested in other spots, and the 49ers knew they couldn't compete with other interested teams.
Behind the scenes, Lynch and Shanahan kept McGlinchey in the loop of what the team was thinking, and everything pointed to the tackle playing elsewhere in 2023 … maybe even
Photo: Recovering 49ers QB Brock Purdy spotted by fan
Brock Purdy can begin throwing again sometime in June. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback is expected to be ready to hit the field—practice or in-game—sometime in September.
Purdy is recovering from surgery to repair the tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow, an injury sustained in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He hasn't been seen since the surgery, with his last public appearance taking place In Arizona, during the week leading to the Super Bowl.
One fan spotted Purdy, though, getting a photo with the 49ers quarterback (h/t TheSFNiners). As expected, Purdy is wearing a massive brace on his throwing arm,
