John Lynch revealed this week that Kyle Shanahan has a nickname for Dre Greenlaw: Mike Tyson. Well, it's time to set a few ground rules. No head-butts. No ear-bites. Capisce?
The NFL issued a one-game suspension to San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw following an altercation during a 32-29 victory against the Seattle Seahawks. Greenlaw drew a 15-yard personal foul for a late hit out of bounds on Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold before head-butting unhelmeted linebacker Ernest Jones IV on the Seattle sideline. Greenlaw plans to appeal the league's disciplinary decision on Tuesday.
Writer Evan Webeck argues that while Greenlaw's intense competitive spirit fuels the 49ers, his lack of emotional control repeatedly harms the team. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed disappointment over the suspension while noting the team must exercise better judgment. The 49ers now face depth issues at linebacker against the Washington Commanders, as backup Garrett Wallow also suffered a hamstring injury.
