Dre Greenlaw, a linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, received a one-game suspension from the NFL for headbutting Seattle Seahawks player Ernest Jones IV during a sideline confrontation following a late hit on Sunday. The league cited the unsportsmanlike conduct as the reason for the punishment, which will be effective in next Monday’s game against Washington unless Greenlaw successfully appeals the decision on Tuesday. This is not the first time Greenlaw has faced disciplinary action; he was ejected twice previously and suspended last season for berating an official.

Story summary
Dre Greenlaw, a linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, was ejected from his team's game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday due to a headbutt incident. The ejection occurred after Greenlaw initiated a scuffle following a late hit on Sam Darnold near the Seattle sideline, resulting in him facing disciplinary action. On Monday, the NFL suspended Greenlaw for one game, pending an appeal scheduled for Tuesday, citing his unsportsmanlike conduct towards Ernest Jones IV, who was not wearing a helmet at the time.
The incident happened during the second quarter when Greenlaw pursued Darnold into bounds and delivered a late hit. After being flagged for a personal foul, he engaged in a confrontation with Seahawks players on the sideline, culminating in him headbutting Jones. Despite losing their key player, the 49ers still managed to win the game 32-29 against Seattle.
Coach Kyle Shanahan expressed disappointment over the suspension but acknowledged it was out of his hands. Greenlaw's suspension comes with a fine of $11,941 and will prevent him from playing in next Monday’s game against the Washington Football Team, adding to San Francisco’s lineup challenges as they prepare for their upcoming matchups.
