The Story in 60 Seconds

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw will serve a one-game, unpaid suspension after the NFL denied his appeal. Greenlaw is set to miss the team's matchup against the Washington Commanders on Monday, October 19, at Levi's Stadium. Head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed disappointment over the league's decision to uphold the disciplinary penalty.

The suspension stems from Greenlaw's ejection during the Week 5 contest against the Seattle Seahawks for unsportsmanlike conduct. Following a hit on Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold after he stepped out of bounds, Greenlaw confronted Seattle players and headbutted linebacker Ernest Jones IV while Jones was not wearing a helmet.
