49ers’ Dre Greenlaw slapped with hefty fine for punching Falcons’ Drake London

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw has been fined $12,537 by the NFL for unnecessary roughness against Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London. The infraction occurred during San Francisco's 29-20 loss to Atlanta when Greenlaw attempted to punch the ball free but struck London's helmet instead. Although no penalty flag was thrown on the field, league officials reviewed video replays before assessing the discipline.

London temporarily exited the contest for a concussion evaluation following the contact before being cleared to return. The fine marks the second financial penalty of the season for Greenlaw, who previously received an $11,941 sanction for taunting Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton.
