The Story in 60 Seconds

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw has received a one-game suspension without pay from the NFL following an altercation during a 32-29 victory against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field. Greenlaw was ejected in the second quarter after receiving a late hit penalty on quarterback Sam Darnold and subsequently headbutting unhelmeted Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV.

The suspension rules Greenlaw out of the 5-0 49ers' upcoming Week 6 Monday Night Football game against the Washington Commanders, though reports indicate he plans to appeal. The NFL cited violations of unsportsmanlike conduct rules, marking another disciplinary action for Greenlaw after a recent fine for comments toward the Denver Broncos sideline.
