Before leaving the game in the second half, Greenlaw had eight tackles, the fifth game in a row that he's recorded eight or more.

We should have more word on his status on Monday, following his MRI.

In 15 games this season, the twenty-five-year-old has 127 total tackles, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, one interception and six passes defended.

There's a good chance the team may decide to hold him out of their regular season finale next week against the Arizona Cardinals.
