Summary

San Francisco brought a familiar face back to their locker room Thursday in a move to bolster their linebacking corps, with fan-favorite Dre Greenlaw reuniting with his close friend and teammate Fred Warner on the 49ers' defense. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss why Greenlaw's return after one season in Denver makes sense and what kind of impact he'll have. The duo also discuss the trade for defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa and how he fills a much-needed interior presence on San Francisco's struggling D-line. Matt and Jennifer also recap Mike Evans' first press conference with the Bay Area media and how he knew San Francisco was the right destination for him.
