49ers LB Dre Greenlaw’s appeal denied, will miss game vs. Commanders

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw lost his appeal on Tuesday, upholding a one-game suspension without pay. Hearing officer James Thrash confirmed the penalty, which stems from Greenlaw's sideline headbutt of Seattle Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV during San Francisco's 32-29 victory on Sunday. As a result, Greenlaw will miss the team's upcoming Monday night matchup against the Washington Commanders.

The incident began after Greenlaw received an unnecessary roughness penalty for a late hit on quarterback Sam Darnold. When players confronted him, Greenlaw went nose-to-nose with a helmetless Jones and delivered a headbutt, prompting an ejection by referee Land Clark following a review. Greenlaw ranks second on the team with 37 tackles this season.
