San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw has been suspended for one game by the NFL due to an incident during the team's Week 7 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The suspension stems from a headbutt delivered to Seahawks player Ernest Jones IV.
During the game, which the 49ers won 32-29 to improve to 5-0 on the season, Greenlaw was flagged for a late hit on Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold. Following the penalty, Jones, who had removed his helmet, confronted Greenlaw. In the ensuing interaction, Greenlaw headbutted Jones, which led to Greenlaw's ejection from the game. The NFL reviewed the play and subsequently issued the one-game suspension.
