After straining his quad while working out this spring, Denver Broncos inside linebacker Dre Greenlaw has been sidelined at organized team activities this week, according to the Denver Post 's Luca Evans .
Despite not participating in the on-field work, Greenlaw is "still at Denver 's facility this week and is around the team," according to Evans. Broncos coach Sean Payton indicated earlier this month that Greenlaw is expected to return in time for training camp later this summer.
"He's on schedule," Payton said of Greenlaw's recovery . "I saw the early reports, and you don't know how tempted I get sometimes… But I showed great restraint. He's doing well and will be a full participant in training camp. All of that's doing great, but I refrained."
Greenlaw, 28, signed a three-year, $31.5 million contract with Denver in March. He spent the first six years of his career with the San Francisco 49ers, totaling 455 tackles, 3.5 sacks, three interceptions (including a pick-six), two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 64 career games (56 starts).
Once healthy, Greenlaw is projected to serve as the Broncos' top inside linebacker in 2025.
