Greenlaw (ankle) is active Sunday against the Cardinals.
Greenlaw closed out the week with back-to-back limited practices, which was enough to get the Arkansas product on the field Sunday. He should hold down his usual role at weakside linebacker against Arizona.

49ers' Dre Greenlaw: Considered questionable
Rotowire
Greenlaw (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's clash with the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Greenlaw progressed from non-participant to practicing in limited fashion as the week progressed, so he is seemingly trending in the right direction. Still, his final status is unlikely to be confirmed until Sunday morning. Dee Winters would be the prime candidate to replace him at weakside linebacker should he not ultimately get the green light.

49ers' Dre Greenlaw: Injury bug bites again
Rotowire
Greenlaw pulled his hamstring at practice Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
After rehabbing from finger surgery this offseason, Greenlaw suffered another that has a chance of keeping him sidelined for a stretch. This hamstring pull is something to look out for now and into the coming season, as soft-tissue injuries can linger. Once the 26-year-old returns to form, expect him to continue starting alongside Fred Warner on one of the best defenses in the NFL.

49ers' Dre Greenlaw: Good to go for playoffs
Rotowire
Greenlaw (back) doesn't carry a designation for Saturday's wild-card game against the Seahawks.
Greenlaw was sidelined for the 49ers' regular-season finale against Arizona due to a back injury sustained Week 17. However, he was able to return to practice in full Thursday after logging back-to-back limited practices earlier in the week, and San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said the linebacker will be a "full go" for Saturday's wild-card game against Seattle, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Greenlaw has amassed a career-high 127 tackles, six passes defended, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries this season, and he'll continue to form one of the league's best linebacker duos alongside Fred Warner heading into the playoffs.

49ers' Dre Greenlaw: Practicing in limited fashion
Rotowire
Greenlaw (back) logged limited practice sessions Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of San Francisco's wild-card game against Seattle on Saturday.
Greenlaw hurt his back against the Raiders in Week 17 and missed San Francisco's regular-season finale versus Arizona after logging three DNPs during the week. However, his ability to practice -- albeit in limited fashion -- both Tuesday and Wednesday suggests that he has a chance to participate in Saturday's wild-card contest versus the Seahawks. That would be a big boost to the 49ers' defense, as Greenlaw ranked second on the team with 127 tackles while adding an interception and two forced fumbles during 15 regular-season games.

49ers' Dre Greenlaw: Seven stops before early exit
Rotowire
Greenlaw recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.
Greenlaw logged seven stops before being ejected for a head-to-head hit on Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert near the end of the first half. Nevertheless, the fourth-year linebacker still tied Fred Warner for a team high in tackles despite only playing 60 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps. Greenlaw is not known to be dealing with a head injury following this collision, so he should reprise a productive role against Arizona on Monday Night Football in Week 11.

Rotowire
Greenlaw (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
