projected draft slot?
Early Day 2 across a number of sites. Let's see if his combine performance pushes him up or down. If he's going. I'm assuming he will.

Assuming he is gone all of 2024 season....
Might be career ending. Same injury bowman had.

Bowman had a knee injury. Although Achilles injury can be tough to come back from

Yeah he's played his last down for the niners. They need to re-invest some of this capital. They have too many high priced players at the wrong positions. If this team really thinks Purdy is the guy, they need to spend some money and picks on that o line

Greenlaw will be back, he'll probably start the season on IR, and miss 4-6 games. He's 26, if Rodgers can almost come back in 5 months at 40 years old, Dre can attack rehab and be back. He might even be cheaper to re-sign now.

Bowman came back with no problem with the acl injury. He was a 1st team all pro even. It was the achilles injury that derailed and ended his career.

We are going to need to sign an LB FA or draft one this offseason. No way Greenlaw will be 100% if by miracle he's back for the playoffs.

These numbers reminds me of Oliver's stats before he was benched. The Chiefs offense suddenly woke up after Greenlaw went down. We clearly need to get the younger linebackers ready to step in next year.

Honestly, my heart broke more for Dre than it did losing the SB for me. Dre came out with a different level of tenacity and ferocity in this game. He was possessed by the spirit of prime Navorro Bowman.

He'll be out most of next year. We'll have to draft his replacement this offseason if not sign someone. Not sure he'll come back the same...his game was predicated on his quickness.

Bowman came back after his knee injury in Seattle however he tore his Achilles the next year. He came back and did well from his torn up knee but could not after his Achilles tear. Which is scary since both Bowman and Julian Peterson never looked the same.

Achilles injuries are catastrophic for athletes. Especially football players.
