The Denver Broncos made headlines in NFL free agency by signing linebacker Dre Greenlaw, previously of the San Francisco 49ers, in an effort to bolster their defense. However, a significant setback arose when it was reported that Greenlaw sustained a serious quad injury during a workout that could keep him sidelined for a considerable portion of the 2025 NFL season.

Greenlaw's injury history raises concerns; he previously missed most of the last season due to a torn Achilles suffered during the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. In the 2023 season with the 49ers, he showcased his skills by playing in 15 games and accumulating impressive stats. Losing a player of Greenlaw's caliber is a daunting challenge for the Broncos as they prepare for the upcoming season.
