"Greenlaw, who did not play in the preseason or in the first six games of the regular season due to thigh injuries, was formally added to the 53-player roster Saturday and is listed as questionable on the team's injury report. He practiced Wednesday for the first time since before the Week 2 game against the Indianapolis Colts and was a full participant on Friday."
"The Broncos had a roster spot open after they waived third-string quarterback Sam Ehlinger, who then was signed to the Broncos' practice squad on Saturday. Greenlaw suffered a thigh injury during an offseason workout and did not participate in the on-field portions of OTAs and minicamp. He initially practiced when training camp began, but then he suffered "a different injury'' to his thigh, according to coach Sean Payton."
"Greenlaw signed a three-year, $31.5 million contract in March, and Payton has consistently lauded the physicality and athleticism that he could bring to the Broncos' defense. Even with his injuries over the years, Greenlaw has been one of the league's most impactful off-ball linebackers -- he's had four seasons with at least 80 tackles and has 14 career passes defensed. He joins a Broncos defense that already leads the league in sacks, third down defense, red zone defense as well as defensive EPA"
