However, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio expressed uncertainty about Greenard's ability to adjust to the new defensive scheme during his recovery. Fangio emphasized the importance of live practice reps for mastering his system, which involves responsibilities that extend beyond traditional pass-rushing duties. How quickly Greenard can catch up remains to be seen, but he is actively engaged in meetings while recovering.
