Greenlaw (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. Greenlaw left the game in the fourth quarter and will not return. The extended absence of the defensive leader would be a significant detriment for a Broncos defense that is looking to secure the AFC's top seed. Jonah Elliss or Dondrea Tillman likely will see an uptick in linebacker snaps for the Broncos in Greenlaw's absence.

Greenlaw posted five tackles (two solo) and an interception during the Broncos' 27-26 overtime win over the Commanders on Sunday. Greenlaw halted the Commanders' red zone drive early in the second quarter, when he picked off an ill-advised pass from Marcus Mariota and returned it for 27 yards, which the Broncos' offense converted into a 33-yard field goal from Wil Lutz. It was Greenlaw's first interception of the season and first since the 2022 regular season as a member of the 49ers. The 2019 fifth-rounder is up to 28 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble across five regular-season games.

Greenlaw registered eight tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Broncos' 18-15 win over the Texans on Sunday. Greenlaw was credited for his first sack of the season after taking down C.J. Stroud early in the first quarter. Greenlaw played just 27 defensive snaps in Week 9 but still finished third on the Broncos in tackles behind Alex Singleton (10) and Talanoa Hufanga (nine). Greenlaw sat out of seven of the first nine games of the regular season due to a quadriceps injury and a suspension that caused him to miss Week 8 against the Cowboys, but the 2019 fifth-rounder could see his snap count increase over the course of the second half of the regular season.

Greenlaw's one-game suspension was upheld Tuesday, and he will be sidelined for the Broncos' Week 8 home tilt against the Cowboys on Sunday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. The NFL handed Greenlaw a one-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct due to his actions following the Broncos' 33-32 win over the Giants on Sunday, when he verbally threatened a game official. With Greenlaw sidelined and Drew Sanders (foot) and Garret Wallow (hamstring) both on injured reserve, undrafted rookie Karene Reid will serve as the Broncos' top depth option at inside linebacker in addition to having his usual duties on special teams for Week 8. Greenlaw's next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Texans on Nov. 2.

Greenlaw (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's contest against the Giants. Greenlaw (quadriceps) will make his regular-season debut after being activated from Denver's injured reserve Sunday. However, the Broncos' defensive coordinator, Vance Joseph, stated the 28-year-old likely will have a limited role as he retakes the field. The seventh-year pro likely will split reps with Justin Strnad and inside linebacker Alex Singleton.
