Dre Greenlaw, a linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, was ejected from a game against the Seattle Seahawks after hitting quarterback Sam Darnold on the Seahawks' bench area and then headbutting Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones. The NFL will review the incident to determine potential further disciplinary action such as fines or suspensions based on its severity. Greenlaw has a history of emotional outbursts, including previous incidents that led to a suspension for threatening an official and recent fines for unsportsmanlike conduct.

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.
