Greenard had two total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's win over the 49ers. Greenard had six QB hurries, according to Pro Football Focus, as he helped lead a deep pass rush that had six sacks. He played on 47 of the defense's 70 snaps, as Minnesota features a deep rotation of pass rushers. Greenard rebounded after recording no tackles or sacks in Week 1.

Greenard is slated to ink a four-year, $72 million contract with Minnesota, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Greenard put together a career year across 15 regular-season games in 2023, the final year of his deal with the Texans. With 52 tackles (36 solo), 15 tackles for a loss, 12.5 sacks and a forced fumble, Greenard earned himself a notable payday, now becoming a pillar of the Vikings' defense. Minnesota will have to hope Greenard can consistently replicate the production levels of his 2023 campaign, which isn't a sure thing considering that across the first three years of his career, he racked up 10.5 sacks combined. The arrival of Greenard could signal that Danielle Hunter won't ultimately re-sign with the Vikings.

Greenard (ankle) was listed as a nonparticipant on Tuesday's estimated practice report. Greenard played just three defensive snaps in Week 16 before missing Week 17 with the ankle injury. With Greenard having 12.5 sacks on the season, his loss has been big for Houston. The Texans need to win their Saturday game against the Colts in order to lock in a playoff spot

Greenard (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Greenard was forced out of Sunday's loss versus the Browns early due to an ankle injury which he's still tending to as of Houston's first practice of the new week. He'll likely need to return to practice Thursday or Friday to have a shot to play in Week 17.

Greenard (ankle) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns. Greenard was seen walking along the sidelines without a helmet after sustaining an ankle injury in the first half. The Texans will turn to backup defensive ends Jerry Hughes and Derek Barnett for the remainder of Sunday's contest with starters Greenard and Will Anderson (ankle) not on the field.
