Greenard spent his first four seasons with the Texans before signing with Minnesota in 2024. In his two seasons as a full-time starter - 2023 and 2024 - he posted at least 12 sacks and 50 tackles each year.

  

He missed the rest of the 2025 season after season-ending shoulder surgery.

  

He now joins Philadelphia as a replacement for Jaelan Phillips, who left for Carolina this offseason.
