49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw’s fate did not turn out the way he expected. After receiving a one-game suspension, he was ruled out of playing against the Commanders in Week 6. Despite appealing the decision, the ruling did not go in…
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw has had his one-game suspension upheld by the NFL after an unsuccessful appeal. Jointly appointed hearing officer James Thrash affirmed the league's penalty following an altercation in which Greenlaw headbutted Seattle Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV. As a result, Greenlaw will be sidelined for San Francisco's Week 6 matchup against the Washington Commanders.
The incident took place during the second quarter of the 49ers' 32-29 victory over Seattle. After shoving quarterback Sam Darnold out of bounds, Greenlaw confronted Jones on the sideline and delivered a headbutt to the helmetless linebacker, earning an ejection and a 15-yard penalty. This marks the second unsportsmanlike conduct suspension of Greenlaw's career.
