Dre Greenlaw tore his Achilles in a freak incident while jogging onto the field during the Super Bowl, and thanks to “Inside the NFL,” we can witness the huge impact it had on his 49ers colleagues.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Did Dre just get hurt running out on the field?” Kyle Shanahan, 49ers coach, questioned in despair, seemingly unable to believe what he had just witnessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greenlaw’s right Achilles popped when rushing onto the field following the 49ers’ second-quarter punt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I was sick to my stomach,” Warner admitted following the game. “I am still sick. I saw him at halftime and started crying because I felt so bad for him. And, obviously, I wanted to win it for him. Sickening.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

“He’s been struggling with the same Achilles ailment for the past few weeks. So as we raced out on the field together and I saw him fall, I understood what had happened.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I feel like it\u2019s gotten a little lost in all the other postgame stuff, but the Dre Greenlawn injury is one of the most brutal things I\u2019ve seen in sports. Major injury running on the field after a kickoff is just surreal. pic.twitter.com\/U62jkJOh40<\/a><\/p>— Jimmy Traina (@JimmyTraina) February 14, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
