In Super Bowl LVIII, the San Francisco 49ers faced a setback when linebacker Dre Greenlaw, known for his physical presence alongside Fred Warner in the team’s defense, suffered an unfortunate injury during the first half.
Greenlaw had to be carted off the field in the second quarter after appearing to injure his leg while entering the field. The team later announced that he was questionable to return due to an Achilles injury.
Following the injury, Greenlaw was seen lying on the sideline before being transported back to the locker room on a medical cart. Despite being just 26 years old, Greenlaw has been a standout performer for the 49ers, notably securing two interceptions in the NFC divisional round against the Green Bay Packers, including a game-winning pick.

His absence was noticeable as he displayed remarkable intensity on the field, celebrating after each tackle made, indicating his eagerness to perform on the grand stage of the Super Bowl.
