Injury-riddled 49ers head into bye week after loss to Saints
Few teams have been more in need of a week off that the beaten-down San Francisco 49ersNOVEMBER 16, 2020•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Breaks out with 11 stopsGreenlaw racked up 11 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 27-13 loss to New Orleans.
ImpactGreenlaw continued to start alongside the talented Fred Warner, but it was the former that finally led the defense in tackles. The second-year pro has thrived since taking over the starting weak-side linebacker job from the recently-traded Kwon Alexander, averaging 8.2 tackles per game with one total sack in the five games he has started this season. Warner is still the top dog of the linebacking unit, but Greenlaw proved he can provide solid tackle totals for IDP owners. A matchup against the Rams' play-heavy offense resides on the other side of the 49ers' bye week.

Logs 12 snaps on offenseWalter had one carry for three yards and caught his lone target for 27 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Saints.
ImpactWalter was signed from the practice squad for the second week in a row, but he was able to actually get involved in the gameplan for the first time this season. The 24-year-old received the first touches of his pro career Sunday, so it's tough to tell what the 49ers have in the youngster. He did show soft hands during his time at Rice, so he could serve a third-down role even if either of Raheem Mostert (ankle) or Tevin Coleman (knee) are healed up after the upcoming bye week. Both of the backs ahead of him on the depth chart Sunday (Jerick McKinnon and JaMycal Hasty) also suffered injuries, so we could even see Walter starting against the Rams in Week 12 if the stable of injured backs are unable to return to action.
