49ers LB Dre Greenlaw suspended one game for head-butt

sportsOct 12, 202617351

The NFL suspended San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw one game without pay for head-butting helmetless Seattle Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV on the sideline, the league said. The act violated Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1, governing unsportsmanlike conduct, and the league office directed Greenlaw's ejection from Sunday’s game. Greenlaw has now been ejected three times and suspended twice during his NFL career. After Greenlaw’s disqualification, rookie Jaden Dugger played every down alongside Fred Warner, finishing with nine tackles and one sack. Greenlaw plans to appeal the suspension.
