"We've had that Thursday night game against the Rams as that target date. Hopefully, we can stay on that."It's kind of a day-by-day thing. We're going to make sure he's right. But it's even more important to win a game like this [against the Bears], because you get a guy like that [returning], who we all know what he does for our football team when he's out there."Greenlaw hasn't played this season as he works his way back from a ruptured Achilles in Super Bowl LVIII against the Chiefs. Greenlaw was re-entering the game from the sideline, jogging onto the field, when his Achilles gave way.The 49ers designated Greenlaw to return to practice last week.Greenlaw, a fifth-round pick in 2019, totaled 120 tackles with five tackles for loss and four quarterback hits in 15 games last season.
