Dre Greenlaw of the San Francisco 49ers was ejected from Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks for head-butting a helmet-less opponent during a sideline scuffle following a personal foul penalty. The incident occurred after Greenlaw initiated contact with Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold, who had already stepped out of bounds. This led to a brief fight involving multiple players and resulted in Luke Gifford replacing Greenlaw on the field. San Francisco’s defense was penalized four times for 34 yards during this game, despite entering as one of the least penalized teams in the NFL with only 28 penalties for 223 total yards through their first four games.

Story summary
Dre Greenlaw, a linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, was ejected in the second quarter of their game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday after he initiated a scuffle. The incident began when Greenlaw made contact with Sam Darnold as Darnold ran out of bounds, earning him a personal foul penalty. After being surrounded by Seattle players including linebacker Ernest Jones IV, who was helmet-less, Greenlaw head-butted Jones, prompting additional penalties and his ejection from the game. The incident could result in further disciplinary action from the NFL, as Greenlaw's behavior violated rules prohibiting abusive or threatening actions toward opponents.
