Story summary

On October 12, 2026, Dre Greenlaw, linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, was suspended by the NFL for one game after headbutting Ernest Jones IV of the Seattle Seahawks during a sideline altercation in their Sunday game. The incident occurred when Greenlaw chased down and hit Sam Darnold out of bounds, leading to a personal foul penalty. After being surrounded by Seahawks players, including helmet-less Jones, Greenlaw responded with a headbutt, prompting his immediate ejection from the game. Despite the 49ers winning 32-29, Greenlaw's suspension was upheld on October 14 after an unsuccessful appeal, meaning he will miss their upcoming Monday Night Football matchup against the Washington Commanders. Coach Kyle Shanahan expressed disappointment with the league’s decision but acknowledged it as a necessary consequence.
