The 49ers have dealt with so many injuries during the season that it’s been easy to forget that they’ve also been without one key player since February.
Linebacker Dre Greenlaw tore his Achilles during the Super Bowl and head coach Kyle Shanahan gave an update on his extended recovery during an appearance on KNBR on Tuesday.
