Local reporters in Denver soon clarified that Greenlaw had actually strained his quad and would be sidelined for weeks, not months. Broncos coach Sean Payton confirmed that at rookie minicamp over the weekend, seemingly taking a shot at the original report in the process.

The Denver Broncos made a big splash in free agency when they signed linebacker Dre Greenlaw to help improve their linebacker room. He is coming off an Achilles injury but should be back to 100% and even had the 49ers brass begging him to come back before he officially put pen to paper with the Broncos.

Draft weekend ended with a report that linebacker Dre Greenlaw's first season with the Broncos may be over before it started with a quadriceps injury.
