The 49ers will be without two starting linebackers for an indefinite period of time.
Second-year linebacker Dre Greenlaw missed his second day of practice on Monday as he has been placed in the NFL’s concussion protocol, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said.
Greenlaw apparently sustained the concussion during the 49ers’ workout on Friday inside Levi’s Stadium. The 49ers did not practice Saturday. He was not on the field for practice on Sunday.
